About Us

Our mission to bring financial literacy to Manchester and beyond

Team meeting at indigokeep office

Our Story

indigokeep was founded in 2018 by a group of finance professionals who saw a troubling gap in education. While schools teach mathematics and science, practical money management remains largely absent from the curriculum.

We started with a single evening class for adults in a rented community hall. Word spread quickly. Within a year, we had expanded to include youth programmes and family workshops. Today, we operate from our dedicated centre near Piccadilly Gardens, serving hundreds of Manchester residents each term.

Our name reflects our core belief: that building wealth requires protection (keep) and patience (indigo, representing depth and wisdom). Financial security is not about quick schemes; it is about steady, informed decisions made over time.

What Guides Our Teaching

Every course we design follows these foundational principles.

Practical Over Theoretical

Every lesson includes exercises you can apply the same week. We focus on real bank accounts, real budgets, and real decisions rather than abstract concepts.

Accessible to Everyone

Financial education should not be reserved for the wealthy. Our sliding scale options and community programmes ensure cost is never a barrier.

Multi-Generational Learning

Money habits form early. By teaching parents and children together, we create households where financial conversations become normal and productive.

Our Impact in Numbers

Since opening our doors, we have worked with thousands of individuals across Greater Manchester.

Our Facility

Located just minutes from Manchester Piccadilly station, our learning centre provides a welcoming environment for students of all ages. The space includes two dedicated classrooms, a resource library with financial planning books and tools, and a comfortable reception area.

We designed the space to feel unlike a traditional school. Comfortable seating, natural light, and informal layouts encourage open discussion about topics that many people find stressful or embarrassing.

The centre is fully accessible, with step-free access and hearing loop systems in both classrooms.
