💷 Hey folks, did you know a whopping 758,000 young people are sitting on unclaimed cash with an average of £2,242 waiting in their Child Trust Fund? 🎉 HMRC is calling on young adults, especially those born between September 1, 2002, and January 2, 2011, to check if there’s money waiting for them. And guess what? It takes just five minutes! ⏰
If you’re in an apprenticeship, starting a new job, or planning your next big move, this cash could be a game-changer. Whether it’s covering rent, funding travel to work, or investing in a course, this ‘found money’ can make a hefty difference. 🏠🚇📚
Myrtle Lloyd from HMRC highlights that unlocking these funds is super straightforward. Just head to GOV.UK and search for ‘find my Child Trust Fund’, or use a free finding service to track down what’s yours—no paperwork needed! 🗂️
Antonia Medlicott from Investing Insiders says, “This could literally be money with your name on it.” So, why miss out when it’s so easy to claim?
And for employers out there, do your young staff a favour and spread the word. Kate Underwood suggests this unclaimed stash could help your team thrive during tough times. It’s a boost that can prevent the need to lean on overdrafts or buy-now-pay-later schemes. 🔄
So, if you’re under 18, take control of your trust fund now! If you’re 18 or over, it’s time to decide: cash out or reinvest? 💸
Tag a friend who might need to check this out and let’s make sure no young person misses out on what’s rightfully theirs! 👫
