Who We Are

Get to know us

Hi there…

Founded in 2022, Smart Spenders is a transformative initiative that addresses the critical need for comprehensive financial education among young Londoners. We’re aiming to create engaging, relatable, and culturally relevant content, and resources, that resonate with our diverse audience. We’re on a mission to create tangible change by empowering our members with real, useful life skills that are tailored to help our members face the challenges they may face in managing their finances.

Our Mission

To empower the next generation with accessible, comprehensive resources to help young adults navigate the complexities and nuances of personal finance to ensure a bright, and secure future.

Our Vision

A London where every citizen, irrespective of their background, has the knowledge and skillset to make informed financial decisions; resulting in empowered, and thriving communities.

Our Purpose

Our Harsh Reality

Even after centuries of traditional education, life skills (including personal finance) are still not a part of the national curriculum. It’s 2024, it’s time that changed for good; it’s time that students leave school with all the knowledge they need to succeed holistically.

Enabling Real Learning

We’re not selling a course that promises you a dream at completion, but a course that will open your eyes to the often overseen nuances of personal finance and important life skills. You won’t need to hire a personal accountant, I mean unless you want to of course.

Building Our Community

Our initiative supports London communities by connecting our members with a network of local, small business owners who offer practical advice, and mentorship based on their experience. Aiming to strengthen the resilience of our communities.

& Why Do We Care?

  • National Household debt hits £2.2 trillion.

    Data also highlights that less than half of UK consumers can answer financial questions correctly, despite 88% reporting they feel confident with money.

  • 11.5 Million people have less than £100 in savings.

  • 20.3 Million adults don't feel confident managing their money.

    That’s 39% of all adults, 18 +, in the UK.

  • 9 Million people are in severe debt.

    … And only a third will get the help they need.
