Rugby heritage project inspires kids’ pocket money workshops at National Museum of Film, Photography and Television, Bradford
A unique rugby heritage project has inspired a local company to bring children’s financial capability to life, with themed pocket money workshops that will take place on Wednesday 15th February.
engage Mutual Assurance, which enjoys strong links with rugby league as headline sponsor of the engage Super League, is supporting the heritage project, that will restore, preserve and display a selection of rugby photographs and archive footage at Bradford’s National Museum of Film, Photography and Television.
The photographs and film show will be complemented with two interactive pocket-money sessions that look at budgeting, saving and value – all based around rugby’s past, present and future. The event should provide a great day out as well as making money matters more interesting to those who take part. Attitudes to money across the generations will be discussed and children will have the chance to ask questions, meet some of their favurite rugby stars and go home with an engage goody bag.
Sarah Jeffery, engage’s Learning and Development Manager and a rugby league supporter herself, devised the pocket money course. “We’re want to demistify the basics, to give money matters more natural appeal to children. Linking with rugby league does this and the historic aspect brings an added dimension that should encourage the kids to ask their family questions at home. Rugby league offers tremendous opportunties time and time again to to bring the generations together for enjoyment – as this occasion proves.”
