National Youth Agency partnership
Our partnership with National Youth Agency (NYA) helps take NatWest Thrive beyond the classroom.
Delivered through youth clubs in underserved communities across the UK, our partnership equips youth workers and youth clubs with the tools, training and support they need to help young people build financial confidence.
Our support to NYA through apprenticeship levy funding is also helping to bring more qualified youth workers into the sector.

Financial Foundations: supporting customers where they live and work
We take our colleagues’ expertise into the places where customers live and work with our Financial Foundations programme.
We recently supported West Granton Housing Cooperative with a workshop at their offices in Edinburgh through Royal Bank of Scotland, helping the organisation’s members and local community with money management and planning for the future.
NatWest Thrive: helping young people talk about money
We’re spreading the power of the NatWest Thrive programme through our Thrive Live events in communities across the UK.
Take a look at our recent Thrive Live event in Southampton, which brought together more a hundred Year 10 students at Cantell School for a high‑energy day focused on building money confidence, financial skills and self‑belief.
