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.

The chatbot nick named ‘Ker-Know’ can answer questions on all the services offered by the council, from waste to education, and do tasks by responding to messages in real time.
It does this by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to search the website on behalf of residents, intelligently responding to their inquiries.

New online tool for finding out care costs
Unlike health care, adult social care services are not free. We can work out a personal budget for the support you need.
If you have less than £23,250 in capital, you may be eligible for some help with the cost of your care. The amount you pay will depend on your:
capital
assets
income
savings
benefits
You may have to pay for all of the costs, or you may be able to apply for financial help.
There’s a new online eligibility checker to find out if you may be able to receive financial help.

New scheme to help residents fund green home improvements
| Homeowners in Cornwall can now apply for lower-cost loans to fund energy saving home improvements through a new Council-backed scheme.

Cornwall Council has appointed Lendology CIC to run the pilot scheme, which has been funded by the Crnwall and Isles of Scilly Good Growth Fund. The Green Home improvement Loans Scheme has received £518,254 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. To find about more about the loan scheme visit the Lendology website or call Lendology on 01823 461099. Find out more |
