Making a contribution

The Share Foundation administer contributions to Junior ISA and Child Trust Fund accounts under the Looked After Children scheme.  We administer Child Trust Fund accounts for young people in care who have no responsible adult in their lives.  If you wish to contribute to an account for an individual young person, the local authority will be able to advise if the young person has an account set up which is being managed by The Share Foundation.  Alternatively, please contact The Share Foundation directly and we will be happy to assist.

For Foster Carers, Local Authorities, Care Organisations, Friends and Relatives of young people in care:  The Share Foundation can administer contributions restricted to a specific young person in care for their Junior ISA or Child Trust Fund account.  You may choose to make a one-off contribution or set up a regular donation.  To find out how, visit:

Contribute to an individual account

For Local Authorities and Care Organisations: who may want to contribute to a group of Junior ISA and/or Child Trust Fund accounts, please visit:

Contribute to a group of accounts

Contributions to an individual Junior ISA or Child Trust Fund are treated as a gift to the child and become their property.  Contributions therefore cannot be refunded to the donor.

For Organisations, Trusts, Individuals, Local Authorities, Family Trusts, Wills and Supporters:  The Share Foundation aim to support young people in care by raising additional voluntary contributions for the provision of financial education and resources.  By providing guidance on handling money, the young people will be better prepared for adult life.  Our Stepladder Plus provides a six-step financial educational programme for young people in care that will not only offer the opportunity of incentivised rewards for their account, but will provide them with the confidence to achieve their aspirations.  To find out how you can support The Share Foundation please visit:
