Weekly £10 savings plan for children in care

The States of Guernsey has launched a scheme to provide children in care with £10 weekly savings, accessible when they turn 18, to support their transition to independent living. About 40 children are initially eligible, with accounts managed by Guernsey Community Savings, aiming to offer financial security and confidence. The initiative seeks to help care-experienced young people avoid financial exclusion and build a stronger foundation for adulthood.
