Child Trust Funds (CTF)

As a parent you’ll know that providing for your child’s future is one of the greatest gifts you can give them.

If your child was born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011 and eligible for Child Benefit, you should have received a Child Trust Fund voucher from the Government.

The CTF voucher is the amount of money that the Government is giving your child and it can only be used to open and kick-start a Child Trust Fund account.

If you’ve got a CTF voucher, this is great news and means that your child will benefit from having a Child Trust Fund. You’ll need to place your voucher with a provider to open a CTF before the expiry date on the voucher.
