Child Trust Fund reminder

Did you know there are hundreds of thousands of Child Trust Fund accounts that haven’t been claimed? A Child Trust Fund is a long-term tax-free savings account for children born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011 when the scheme closed. The government made initial deposits into these accounts, which mature when the individual turns 18 and can then be claimed. Find information about checking if you have a Child Trust Fund and how to claim on the government website.
