The Woodley Wallet Watchers have beaten 300 other entrants to win The Lloyds Banking Group ‘Money for Life Challenge 2014’ – a competition to encourage young people to develop and share ideas to promote money management skills.
Over 300 teams across the UK entered with stage one of the competition being held in each of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
The Woodley Wallet Watchers won the England Final last month and have now been crowned winners at the O2 in London where they won the overall UK final against the winners from the other three countries.
They have worked with Stockport Credit Union to encourage young adults in Woodley to save and improve their money management skills and are now looking to extend their work across other areas in Stockport.
Host, TV Presenter Amanda Lamb, said on twitter it was “a brilliantly awe inspiring night”
