In this episode of Just Local, we sit down with community champion and financial advisor Martyn Davies to explore the story behind Milo the Monkey: Making Money Matters Fun — a colourful, character-led children’s book teaching primary school kids the basics of money.
Martyn shares how a gap in early financial education inspired him to create something fun, practical and accessible for families and schools. From school visits with activity packs to building a national network of financial educators, Martyn’s mission is simple: get kids talking about money early, in a way that sticks.
