Are you worried about your childâs financial future? Do you ever wonder if you will be able to support them perhaps with a deposit on their first home or with getting married? If so there is a government scheme you should definitely be making the most of - The Child Trust Fund. Children who are eligible for the Child Trust Fund receive a £250 voucher from the government to help kick start their account. What a great start to that savings account youâve been meaning to open all this time. The best part is that your child canât touch it until they turn 18, when they can decide how to best use the money.
