Jul 15 2009 Huddersfield Daily Examiner

He added that it fits in with Barclays’ Money Skills scheme aimed at youngsters.

He said: “Barclays Money Skills is a Community Investment programme in the UK aiming to improve people’s financial capability.

“Barclays Money Skills helps people develop their confidence and ability to manage money which includes budgeting, making informed financial choices and knowing where to get help.”

More will be unveiled along with fun competitions when the token collection gets up and running, but to find out more visit Barclays.com/community

Schools in the Examiner’s circulation area who want to be in with a chance of winning some of the cash should take the following steps:

All will receive a large envelope with a huge rainbow on the front with entry forms inside.

Simply fill the form in and send it back to us – or register online at www.examiner.co.uk and click on the Schools – Collect For Cash logo.

Then, for five weeks from September 14, get parents, students and supporters to collect ‘cash’ tokens printed in the Examiner.

Readers will be encouraged to collect as many as possible for their chosen school over five weeks.

The way the cash will be distributed remains the same as last year.

The winners will be those schools who collect the most tokens per pupil. So, if you have 100 pupils in your school and you collect 2,000 tokens, your token-collect average will be 20.

You would beat a far bigger school that had collected 4,000 tokens and had 600 pupils as their average would only be 6.66 tokens per pupil.
