Who We Are, And Why We Exist

Jermaine Bishop

Why did you start the Set Them Up Foundation – I have been employed pretty much since the day I left secondary school, I have always made a decent wage however after 20 years of work I didn’t have much to show for all the effort I had put into my jobs. I would like to teach Children from similar backgrounds to myself how to manage, save and invest money to provide them with a better start in life.  

Goal - To  provide free financial Education to children from lower class backgrounds from the ages of 15 – 19 across the world and setting them up for a financially secure future. I would also like to support those children who take a particular interest into learning Finance and helping them into further education and developing their careers. Who knows I may discover the next Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos.

Why did you start the Set Them Up Foundation –  At the age of 16 when I left school I felt like I was ignorant to how the rental process, mortgage and general finances worked because of this it put me off and made the situation more stressful and I made misinformed decisions. The older me would tell me what I know so why would you not want less stress for our future generations. With Set Them Up Foundation we would love each student to come away better informed, more confident and less anxious on their life decisions to come. 

Goal -  We are keen to reach out to as many underprivileged children as possible. Giving them a greater chance than the statistics of poverty that are represented in each borough. We would like our classes soon to be taught in schools across the globe positively impacting a future generation. We would like to help children get into further education and we will be actively assisting the younger generation finding gainful employment.

Hi, I’m Tina Creed a former member of the board of Governors at the Ark Elvin Academy secondary school in Wembley. I have great interest in the education and development of children and my career is a testament to this. I have 25 years’ experience working in childcare, working with children from the ages of 2 – 19.  I believe the Set Them Up Foundation is a great cause and will benefit children especially those coming from low-income households. The set them up foundation will give children and young adults a better opportunity to make a great start to their financial futures.

Hey I’m Truman, currently heading up rugby at Skinners school in Kent, I have a huge passion for what I do and most of my students know me for the big kid at heart I still am :) I have often discussed the need for financial planning and property knowledge to the younger generation leaving school as a must. I look forward to bringing young adults through the course and positively affecting their bright futures.
