Martin Lewis says Britons could be missing out on child trust fund worth up to £2k

Martin Lewis has shared important information for parents of children aged between 12 and 20 about a “hidden” UK government savings account which they may “know nothing about”.

“The amount in there, it’s impossible to say... I think even if you haven’t added money to it, you’re likely to have somewhere between £250 and £2000 in that child trust fund that you may be unaware of,” Lewis said.
