The Share Foundation - donating to savings accounts

Now available on our YouTube channel.

Additional donations into savings accounts can make the account more meaningful for a young person leaving care.

 Who can donate and how to donate are covered in this seminar. This can include a local authority making payments into savings accounts at source rather than requiring foster parents to do this. We will explain how simple this is and why so many LAs are opting to follow this route. We will also cover the importance of sharing the TSF reference with the donor.

With donations handled by TSF to accounts for children in care rising from £556,000 in the 2017-2018 financial year to a projected £3 million plus in the current year, now is the time to make sure your Looked-After children benefit from this service available from TSF.

This seminar is appropriate for anyone from those who has decision-making powers within the LA to staff on the front line who deal with carers, care organisations and foster carers. It is also appropriate for staff of care associations and foster carers who make their own contributions to savings for children in care.
