Save By The Bell is a project that encourages children and young people to develop a savings habit. We run weekly collections in participating primary schools across Dundee, where pupils can deposit money into their savings account. Our trained primary 6/7 pupils act as 'tellers' and are supervised by adult volunteers. We need more adult volunteers to support and monitor our pupils during these collections, helping them to develop their cash handling and numeracy skills. There are positions available in various schools and collections usually last no more than one hour. All volunteers will be required to commit to attending one collection per week and to undergo a Disclosure Scotland check. Support and training will be provided by Save By The Bell staff.

Management Committee Member Save By The Bell (SBTB) is a school-based project which aims to provide financial education to pupils and to complement financial inclusion initiatives within the city of Dundee. We aim to encourage children and young people to develop a regular savings habit which can be sustained during their adult life. We are currently looking for volunteers to serve on our Management Committee which oversees the business operations of SBTB - setting priorities in the use of staff and other resources. The management committee meets quarterly to review the latest financial results and address any queries or issues that have been raised. We are looking for individuals with an interest in the aims of Save By The Bell, which are to give young people in Dundee the opportunity to learn about saving and help them gain an understanding of how money works. Financial education is a top priority for Save By The Bell and it is the role of the management committee to help the charity achieve this objective. Expectations are that there will be at least five meetings per year, made up of four quarterly review meetings and an AGM held in May/June. All applicants will be considered as we believe a management committee with a diverse mix of skills and experience will best serve the charity.
