Contact continues to support Andrew Turner’s campaign to unlock £210 million of savings held in Child Trust Funds. Andrew has already written to new ministers asking for urgent action.

And now Andrew has set up a Facebook campaign group called Unlock Our Savings – Child Trust Funds & JISAs for disabled young people.  We’d love you to join us in it.

This link will take you to the group: Unlock Our Savings – Child Trust Funds & JISAs.

The Unlock Our Savings group will help us to share information accessing Child Trust Funds and Junior ISAs. It will also help us reach more people who are affected by this unfair situation.

Many voices are stronger than one. We hope the group will be a way for us all to demand action from the new government.

Reasons to join

Hera are three reason to join:

  • Share tips on accessing savings held in Child Trust Funds via the finance industry process. More providers are using a simpler way of releasing funds. Parent carer Angie recently asked the NatWest to release her son’s savings. They did so quickly and simply and how her son has £3,500 to enjoy (a mini campaign win!).
  • Get campaign updates and news about events on topics such as Lasting Power of Attorney, Court of Protection and more.
  • Be part of a community with a shared goal to unlock savings held in Child Trust Funds /Junior ISAs.

Spread the word

Please share the group with your contacts. If your child attends a special school or specialist services, maybe you could share on their social media too.

Our research tells us that there are many families who don’t know that this is a potential issue for them. We’d love to reach as many people as we can!

Those of you not on Facebook, please be assured that we will continue to stay in touch via email. Make sure that you are opted in to receive campaign emails.
