About our Year Six Dividend Campaign
City AM is partnering with City Pay it Forward, an independent, self-funded financial education charity
Together, we’re on a mission to equip every year six student in London with the financial skills they need to thrive. In a city that hosts some of the world’s most powerful financial institutions, far too many children leave school without a basic understanding of money.
That’s why we’re launching the Year Six Dividend Campaign - a bold new initiative to raise £2 million from City firms and individuals to deliver free, high-quality financial education to every year six child in the capital.
This isn’t just about budgeting and saving. It’s about empowering the next generation to navigate the cost of living, avoid debt traps, understand their future pay packets, and feel confident managing their money.
By supporting this campaign, you’ll be giving young people the tools for lifelong financial wellbeing - right at the moment they’re starting to form money habits that will last a lifetime.

Who is City Pay it Forward
A volunteer-led charity bringing together business professionals and leading educators to deliver financial literacy to every classroom.
City Pay it Forward is an independent, volunteer-led financial education charity founded by business professionals who believe that every child should leave school with the confidence to manage money. We work alongside leading educators to level the playing field — because understanding money should not depend on where you grow up or what your parents know.
We deliver practical, engaging workshops that bring money to life — from budgeting and saving to tax, credit, payslips and everyday financial choices. Our award-winning curriculum is designed in collaboration with top teachers and education specialists to make every lesson relevant, accessible and impactful.
To date, City Pay it Forward has reached tens of thousands of young people across the UK and US. With your help, we aim to give every Year 6 student in London the same opportunity to build lifelong financial confidence.
