Contribute to an individual Junior ISA/Child Trust Fund account

Step 1:  Obtain the TSF reference number (if you do not already have it)

All Junior ISA and Child Trust Funds administered by The Share Foundation will have a unique TSF reference.  If this is not known already, you can obtain this from The Share Foundation’s ‘main contact’ at the relevant local authority of the young person. This reference ensures that the contribution is made into the correct account, as once a contribution has been paid into the account, it is deemed as a gift to the young person and cannot be refunded.

For support in obtaining the TSF reference number, please contact The Share Foundation on 01296 310400 or email info@sharefound.org providing the name of the local authority looking after the young person.

If making a one-off contribution go to Step 2

For regular contributions go to Step 4

Step 2:  Complete a Contribution Form for non-Direct Debit contributions

All non-Direct Debit contributions to an individual Junior ISA or Child Trust Fund account require a contribution form to be submitted to The Share Foundation.  This ensures we can identify and match the contribution amount to the correct young person and donor.  The form is required for all payment methods, ideally prior to receiving the contribution. It can be submitted electronically using the online link below or downloaded below and emailed or posted. The minimum single or regular payment is £10 - this is stipulated by the account providers!

If posting the Contribution Form, please sign it and send the completed form to:

 The Share Foundation, PO Box 1172, Aylesbury HP20 9PG

 If emailing, send to:   info@sharefound.org

Step 3:  Arrange Payment of the single Contribution

The Share Foundation can accept ‘one-off’ payments by bank transfer and regular payments by Direct Debit. Please note that in all cases the minimum payment which can be accepted is £10.00

Bank transfer payments are arranged directly by the donor with their bank as one-off contributions.  The bank sort code and account number to transfer the funds to is shown after completion of the online form and is also shown on the paper contribution form.

Please ensure when setting up bank payments, the TSF reference number is used as the payment reference.  Bank transfers received without TSF references will be returned, as we need this reference to ensure the contribution is paid to the correct account.

A cheque must be made payable to ‘The Share Foundation’.  Please attach the cheque to a contribution form (remembering to include the TSF reference) and post to The Share Foundation.
