Join our next webinar on mental capacity and finances

Tuesday 16 December 2025
This event is for families in England and Wales only.
If you are the parent to a 14-23 year old, they are likely to have a government issued Child Trust Fund. If they are younger, you (or wider family) might be saving via schemes such as a Junior ISA.
At Contact, we know that many of our parent carers have concerns for their child’s financial future and want to help them in any way possible.
However, if a young person lacks mental capacity or needs support in managing money, the process to access their savings at 18 can feel quite daunting. Many of you tell us that the mental capacity process as a whole feels confusing and overwhelming.
This is particularly evidenced in our Child Trust Fund campaign, where we are supporting families who are struggling to unlock their child’s savings.
How can I find out more?
Contact is once again partnering with Renaissance Legal to offer a free, one hour webinar about mental capacity and how this might impact your loved one’s savings.
Date: Wednesday 14th January 2025
Time: 10am – 11am

What is a webinar?
A webinar is a live presentation via the internet. You will need a tablet, smartphone or computer. There is no required audience participation (unless you want to ask a question in the chat) and cameras will be off, so you can relax in the comfort of your own home.
