Do you care for a young person aged 15 to 17?

The Step Ladder of Achievement, provided by the Share Foundation, is a fantastic opportunity to help them prepare for independence and grow their savings.

By completing a series of practical workshops on:

  • daily living skills,
  • budgeting and money management,
  • literacy and numeracy; and
  • future planning,

they can earn up to £750 to add to their savings account. These sessions are designed to build confidence and essential life skills for adulthood.

How you as a foster carer can support

  • Encourage participation – talk to your young person about the benefits
  • Help with access – make sure they have time and resources to complete the workshops
  • Celebrate progress – acknowledge each step they complete to keep motivation high

Why encourage them to join?

  • Supports financial independence
  • Builds practical skills for everyday life
  • Rewards progress with real savings
