The Government launched the Child Trust Fund (CTF) to encourage saving for children.

Every child born on or after 1st September 2002 will receive a FREE voucher worth £250 and vouchers are being sent out now.

There are a variety of accounts available from a variety of providers.

Returns are free of income tax and capital gains tax (tax legislation can change).

Parents and others can invest up to a combined total of £1200 each year into the account. This money can only be accessed by the child and only when they reach 18.

    Brighton, BN1 2BR

    *Cheques should be made payable to Family Equity Plan Limited or the child.
  • Online by direct debit – you can set up a regular direct debit or one-off payment by clicking here. You will need the following information: your child's Child Trust Fund account number and your bank details.

Please note – if you have already set up a direct debit for your child's Trust Fund account you cannot increase your monthly payment or make one-off contributions online – instead please call 0800 616695.

 

Inviting others to add to your child's account

  • Make one-off extra payments into the account – making it an ideal place for gifts of christening, birthday or Christmas money – the registered contact can send friends/family an email inviting them to top-up your child's Trust Fund account online by direct debit.
