Building Financial Confidence, One Young Mind at a Time

Our Story

In 2019, Dr. Elizabeth Warren left a successful career in investment banking. After fifteen years watching adults struggle with financial decisions—many of whom earned substantial incomes—she recognised a pattern. The problem wasn't income. It was education.

These capable, intelligent professionals had never been taught the fundamentals. Not at school. Not at home. They learned through trial and error, often with expensive consequences. Credit card debt. Poor investment choices. No emergency funds. The cycle repeated generation after generation.

Elizabeth started small—a weekend workshop in Clifton for eight children. Word spread. Parents saw changes in their kids' behaviour. Conversations about money shifted from awkward to natural. That first group of eight became eighty within six months.

Today, pulse-jump operates from central Bristol with a team of four dedicated educators. We've partnered with over twenty local schools and taught nearly two thousand young people. But numbers only tell part of the story.

Our Approach

Traditional financial education often fails because it treats children like small adults. They're not. A seven-year-old doesn't care about retirement planning—but they absolutely care about whether they can afford that toy they want.

We meet learners where they are. Our younger programmes use games, stories, and hands-on activities. Our teen curricula address the actual financial questions they have: Can I afford those trainers? How do people save for a car? What even is a credit score?

Every programme includes take-home materials for parents. Financial education works best when it continues at home. We equip families with conversation starters, activities, and frameworks they can use long after our sessions end.
