Little Kickerstm and NatWesttm partner up to encourage pre-schoolers to get involved in sport The government introduced the Child Trust Fund scheme in 2002 to encourage parents to save for their children’s future. Child Trust Fund (CTF) is a savings and investment account for children. Children born on or after 1 September 2002 receive a £250 voucher to start their account. The account belongs to the child and can't be touched until they turn 18, so that children have some money behind them to start their adult life. A maximum of £1,200 per year can be saved in the account, and savings are tax-free. Little Kickers have partnered up with Natwest to offer parents opening a CTF with NatWest the opportunity to encourage their children to participate in sport. All children opening a CTF with NatWest will be provided with a free Little Kickers ball when they sign up for, and are accepted onto, a course of Little Kickers football classes. To participate in this initiative, please see the NatWest website for further details about the CTF and the Little Kickers promotion.
