Save Child Savings

Who we Are

• Who we are

  
  We represent a broad alliance - from consumer groups, to charities and service providers who have joined to fight the government's plans to take away Child Trust Funds. We believe that Child Trust Funds offer an invaluable investment in our children's future. As politicians plan to abolish them without any replacement, families are rightly concerned about what the future might hold for their children's savings.

   

  The Save Child Savings campaign was created to fight back and demand that the politicians protect every child's right to the best start to their adult life.
