Virtue Pig and Local Schools

Virtue Money have a mascot in the form of a piggy bank, Virtue Pig.

Virtue Pig’s job is to provide education to local school children, teachers and care takers regarding finance and personal saving. For people to really be financially capable, people first need to understand the basics of money management as well as understanding the principles of financial products (i.e. ISA’s, TAX and pensions).

At Virtue, we know the best way to do this is though education and younger people. Therefore, we have been working closely with local primary and secondary schools and with DYW West Lothian to visit and present to the pupils, staff and families to promote finance awareness.
