The Money Saving Expert (MSE) Charity aims to fight financial and consumer illiteracy and is dedicated to educating and informing adults and children about consumer and debt issues.
The MSE Charity supports projects such as self-help groups and other innovative projects that will help educate people about money/debt/consumer issues. You will need to become a 'constituted group' which means an organisation with its own bank account and rules to make it accountable.
The MSE Charity provides grants to individuals and charities to help educate and inform people about consumer or debt issues.
Examples given are a project to teach squaddies about money before they leave the army, or to set up a debt support group.
Grants of up to £5,000 are available.
Deadline
There are three panel meetings a year. The charity hopes to make a decision within six weeks of the deadline.
