Our Story
Solar-trace began with a simple observation: young people were entering adulthood without fundamental financial knowledge. University students struggled with budgets. Young professionals made costly mistakes with credit. The pattern was clear and troubling.
Founded in 2017 by educators and financial professionals, we set out to change this trajectory. Starting with after-school workshops in a single Edinburgh primary school, we have grown to serve hundreds of families across the city and beyond.
Our philosophy centres on practical learning. Theory matters less than application. We want young people to experience financial decision-making in safe environments, building confidence before real stakes enter the picture.
