This article from the Guardian notes that the Conservative Parties definition of disadvantage now includes a lack of financial skills “the poor just don't have access to financial tools most people take for granted to stay afloat” http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/nov/04/socialmobility-conservatives Maybe UNIAID’s success in inculcating financial wisdom among undergraduates could be replicated by developing similar tools for the disadvantaged?

Great idea! Maybe could do something with CAB?
Yes, also there is an issue about delivering these tools to the financially disadvantaged and changing this situation for future generations. 63% of teachers feel unequipped to deliver financial capability in shcools.
Toynbee Hall do some intresting work here.
