Adding up to a lifetime is a free interactive financial capability resource, designed to equip young people with the knowledge and skills required to make informed choices when facing personal and financial decisions at various stages of their lives.

The Adding up to a lifetime resource has been designed with flexibility in mind and can facilitate both independent learning and whole class teaching. The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust has produced additional materials to support this.
