Time to cash in your young person’s Child Trust Fund?
If your little one’s all grown up it could be time to cash in their Child Trust Fund.
These trust funds are long-term tax-free savings accounts set up for children born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011 with the Government making an initial deposit into the account.
The young person can claim their fund when they turn 18. The average amount is £2,200, but hundreds of thousands of accounts remain unclaimed.

Unlike health care, adult social care services are not free. We can work out a personal budget for the support you need.
