Scottish Friendly is a designated provider of the child trust fund. The State is eager for the public to have access to Stakeholder accounts and this is the sort of account that we are providing.
One of the great attractions of the saving for children is that anyone - parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends - may contribute to the Fund to a maximum of £1,200 per year to help augment the child’s Fund (once added, this money is not allowed to be withdrawn).
Only infants who were born on or after 1st September 2002 are qualified to start up a Children Trust Fund. If you have children born before the 1st of September 2002 who are not allowed you could consider saving for them with a Child Bond - it’s a tax-free savings plan looking for long-term growth. It is evident that saving for a child is a rewarding means of preparing for hard times that may lie ahead.
