Students at Gower College Swansea have been gaining valuable skills in financial management with a range of Money Week events organised across all the college campuses.
The Shopping Basket Challenge proved as popular as ever; students were invited to guess the savings they would make by choosing a supermarket’s own label goods over premium brands. Other challenges which were enjoyed by students included the Top Tips Challenge, a Money Personality Quiz and Taste the Difference Test – blind tasting of “no frills” options against the more expensive brands.
Pictured are Helen Williams and Sean Sarsfield, Barclays Money Skills College Champions, who were available during the events to give advice to students and answer questions on money matters.
Over 900 students also experienced a Money Week Tutorial, which introduced students to a variety of money management skills, from the importance of budgeting and saving, to planning to go to university or how to set up their own business.
