Family and friends can contribute too

Family and friends can also contribute to a child's Child Trust Fund or Junior ISA, as long as the combined amount does not exceed the contribution limit of £9,000.

You also have the choice to set up your own Gifters online MyPlans account after making the contribution to the child's Plan making it easier to make a payment.

Gifts cannot be reclaimed and combined amounts cannot exceed the contribution limit of £9,000, running from birthday to birthday for CTFs and tax year for Junior ISAs. As with all stock market investments the value of your child’s Plan can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than has been paid in.
