We are urging the Government to raise the value of Child Trust Fund (CTF) vouchers in line with inflation so every child has an equal starting point for their investments.
Children born today will get £145 less after inflation than their predecessors during the course of the CTF scheme.
We believe babies born today should receive £288 to give them the same start in life as babies born on 1 September 2002 when the scheme was launched.
By signing our petition you can help us put pressure on the Treasury to apply index-linking to CTF vouchers and stop today's newborns losing out.
"If the point of CTFs is to give children a good financial start in life, it seems short-sighted of the Government to hinder the investment potential of future generations."
