Your Child Trust Fund can help you out financially when you turn 18 years old, regardless of what the future holds. Your financial decisions—whether to spend, save, or invest—are ultimately up to you.
The government introduced the Child Trust Fund (CTF) in 2002 and allowed people to contribute to them tax-free until 2011. The government provided a £250 voucher to each child born during this time period, and the family could contribute an additional £9,000 annually.
When you turn 18, the money you’ve been saving in a CTF becomes yours to do with as you please, and OneFamily is here to help you choose the best option based on your needs and priorities.
We are aware of the gravity of climate change and the power that our immediate actions hold to improve the world in which future generations will thrive.

CTFs, or Child Trust Funds, are long-term savings plans that minimise tax implications for families with children. They were implemented by the government with the intention of rewarding young adults with a lump sum when they reach the age of majority.
Every child born between September 1, 2002 and January 2, 2011 was given a voucher to put into a CTF account by the government. The government will open a CTF account for you if you don’t.
If you sign up for OAM, you’ll have 24/7 access to your account balance. Additionally, you can expect a bill from us before your child turns 16 and again when they turn 18. Every year, you will receive a statement detailing the balance of your account and detailing any contributions made during the previous statement year.
