A new government savings scheme will set aside \u00a310 a week for children in care for them to access when they turn 18. <\/b><\/p>\n

Established by the States’ Children and Family Community Services and Guernsey Community Savings, it is designed to give young people a financial foundation when becoming an adult. <\/p>\n

The States said the scheme will apply to children from entry into the care system and 40 will benefit immediately.<\/p>\n

Associate director of children services Lucy Cook said the savings accounts would support young people by “helping them to access opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.”<\/p>\n

The States of Guernsey said the transition to independent living for people in care can bring “significant financial pressures, from setting up a home to managing everyday living costs”. <\/p>\n

“Having savings of their own can offer greater choice, security and confidence as they take this important step,” it said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
