GoHenry, the money app helping kids learn to earn, save, spend and invest, has today grown its Kids Financial Education Advisory Board from three to six members, ranging in age from 7 to 17. The move aims to give young people a voice on how money lessons should be delivered on the new National Curriculum in England from September 2028 - a milestone GoHenry actively campaigned for over the past five years.

GoHenry’s Financial Education Advisory Board was established to bridge the gap between policy and the classroom, elevating young people's voices on topics they're often left out of. Together, their mission is to help shape GoHenry’s recommendations to the Government, telling them exactly how money lessons should be delivered in classrooms to ensure they are both practical and engaging.

The members of GoHenry’s Financial Education Advisory Board are:

• Luca - age 7, Wiltshire (new member)

• Ferne - age 8, Cheshire (new member)

• Aliyah - age 10, Beckenham (new member)

• Theo - age 11, Doncaster

• Eashan, age 14, Essex

• Maddie - age 17, Coton in the Elms

New research* from GoHenry shows that 6-18 year olds in England strongly support financial education in schools: 

• 77% think financial education should be taught at least once a week

• Learning to save is the money lesson they most want (44%), followed by how to keep money safe from frauds and scams (34%) 

• 72% agree that lessons on investing will help their money grow so they have more as adults

Ferne, age 8, from Cheshire, a new member to the board, said: “It’s great that kids my age are going to learn about money, because if children don’t know how to look after their money, it will be much harder when they grow up! I am really excited to be a member of GoHenry’s Kids Financial Education Advisory Board, to make sure children have a say about what we are going to learn at school.”

Louise Hill, Founder of GoHenry, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Ferne, Aliyah and Luca to the GoHenry Kids Financial Education Advisory Board. Whilst the Government's commitment is a massive win, implementation must match intention. We cannot afford a ‘tick-box’ approach. By involving children as young as seven in our board, we are doing our best to make sure that the new curriculum reflects the reality of how the next generation interacts with money today. We owe it to them to get this right!”

Insights from the GoHenry Kids Financial Education Advisory Board will be shared with policymakers throughout 2026. This initiative sits alongside GoHenry’s recent move to make its ‘Money Missions’ videos - over 80 bite-sized lessons - freely available on YouTube to support families, educators, and industry bodies while the formal curriculum is being developed.
