Child Trust Fund

Make the most of your voucher

If you have a child born on or after 1st September 2002, then you'll automatically receive a voucher from the government worth £250 with an additional £250 if your family receives full Child Tax Credit. These vouchers are being sent to all eligible families so they can open a Child Trust Fund account for their child.

At age 7 your child will receive a further payment of at least £250 into their Child Trust Fund account.

Is your child eligible?

If your child meets all of the following criteria, they are eligible for a Child Trust Fund:

• Born on or after 1st September 2002
• Resident in the UK
• Eligible for Child Benefit
• Child is not subject to immigration control.

Now is the time to start saving for your child's future

When you open a Family Investments Child Trust Fund account, your child's money will be invested in shares where it has good potential to grow over the longer term. However, this means its value can fall as well as rise and your child may get back less than has been paid in.

When your child turns 18 years old, they could use the money to help with further education, to buy a first car or even towards the deposit on a house.  Whatever he or she chooses, your child will have learned the value of steady saving over the years.
