Über mich

Motto
Financial Advisory Board (Youth)
Ich über mich
Welcome to FABY! We are the Financial Advisory Board (Youth). We work with Young Scot, the national youth information agency for Scotland to make information and resources on money and finance easier to understand and to access.

For more information on the project, leave us a message or email us at faby@youngscot.org. You can also check out Young Scot at www.youngscot.org or you can call us for free on 0808 801 0338.
About Young Scot
If you live in Scotland and are aged 11-26 (that’s right, at 26 we still think you’re young!) then our Young Scot card can get you over 1600 discounts in Scotland and over 200, 000 in Europe!! Not only that, but we provide a mixture of information, ideas and incentives that we hope will help young people to become confident and active citizens... information on many subjects, from money to health to arts to... well, anything! Don’t believe us? Call our InfoLine on 0808 801 0338 Mon-Fri 10-6pm and find out for yourself!
Be Safe
Young Scot is here on Bebo for a couple of reasons. To raise awareness of Young Scot and the services we have on offer. To be able to reach young people with important messages more easily and to let us inform you with what’s going on. So look around, add us as a friend and tell your friends to add us too! Use Bebo sensibly and carefully and please accept our apologies that we can’t be held responsible for anything you may find from links on our friends list. Stay safe!
Happiest When
Making money and finance easier to understand for young people in Scotland.

    Let’s admit it, they are a massive part of our lives. We always put up photos of our latest exploits and story of our adventures on them. Young Scot is doing a little survey on what you, as social networking site users, think about them.

    We want to find out some information about why you use them, what you use them for and what your experience of using these sites are. The survey will only take a couple of minutes for you to complete. You’ll find it by following this link: http://www.youngscot.org/surveys/ind...

    Cheers guys!

    Hi guys,

    I would just like to introduce myself and reassure you that FABY has not been forgotten about!

    My name is Danielle and I have recently joined the Young Scot team, along with my colleague Lynsey. We are both looking forward to working with FABY in the near future to help make money and finance even easier to understand.

    There will be a meeting soon to catch up with the members of the board and discuss new projects to get stuck into!

    Check back soon for an update.

    Thanks

    Hi Guys,

    Just to let you know that I (Kirsten) am moving on from Young Scot so won't be involved in FABY anymore. We are still really keen for you to stay involved in FABY so in the next few months we will be back in touch through the bebo page with a new contact for you and more opportunities to get involved with Young Scot and Lloyds TSB Scotland.

    It was lovely to meet you all and please keep FABY going strong!

    Cheers

    Hi everyone!

    I've added some money news highlights to the blog section. Let me know if this is useful / interesting (e.g. for the podcasts) and I will keep adding as I see things.

    Feel free to add your own money news, if you've got any burning questions or just want to update the group on how your podcasts are going.

    Cheers,
    Lucy.
