Please see the undernoted message from Barcaly LifeSkills team. We continue to enjoy a fruitful partnership with Barclays and encourage pupils and parents/carers to look at the resources available.

With education institutions closed across the UK, we wanted to let you know that LifeSkills created with Barclays aims to help all people in the UK. In terms of support for young people, we have developed dedicated support hubs for educators, parents and young people.

The support hubs include a variety of content that can continue to develop your students’ core transferable skills, topics range from wellbeing, budgeting skills, understanding the different types of common fraud and more.

1. If you are looking for activities for young people to complete at home, our student hub for learners aged 14+ has many interactive tools, films and activities to encourage independent study.

2. Our parent support hub is also full of information; by reading our parent blogs and a new advice page specific to current circumstances, they too will be able to support their children with LifeSkills resources.

3. As an educator you may access a range of lesson plans, toolkits and quick-fire activities for use with children who still need to attend school, as well as resources suitable for virtual delivery, through our educator hub.

Additional support

Our educator calls will be available throughout school closures. If you’d like to find out more about how LifeSkills can support you and your students throughout this period, please email us with a time that would suit you for a call.

Please feel free to share the links to the student and parent support hub into any parent mail, social media messages or online schoolwork that you may be sending to your school community. Educators can keep up to date on Twitter @LifeSkills_Ed.

We hope that you will find our resources useful and we wish you and your learners well.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Barclay LifeSkills Team
