Over 50% of young adults are not claiming their Child Trust Funds
The Share Foundation is actively trying to support all young people nationwide aged 16-19 to locate their Child Trust Fund accounts.
Teachers of students in Year 12 and 13 can play a vital role in getting the message cross to these young people, so the Foundation has arranged a virtual event specifically for them.
We would be most grateful if you could support this event by passing on this information to the relevant department within your school or college, to inform as many teachers as possible of the virtual event (30 minutes) taking place on Thursday 4 November.
PLEASE HELP YOUNG PEOPLE AT YOUR SCHOOL TO FIND THEIR ACCOUNTS
Thursday 4 November at 12 noon or 5 pm.
Virtual event registration: www.sharefound.org/teachers1 for 12 noon
or: www.sharefound.org/teachers2 for 5 pm
Registered charity The Share Foundation, which works for the Department for Education (Children’s Services), is working hard to ensure that young people aged 16-19 are informed about their accounts, already open in their name; and that they know how to claim them from their account provider.
We’ve developed a special web search facility in conjunction with the account providers and HMRC, and we’ve produced three short videos specially designed for this age group which we can provide with a script for in-school presentations.
Teachers can play a vital role in getting the message across: please help your students!
