Junior ISAs were introduced in 2012 with a much
smaller Government initial injection - just £200.
However, The Share Foundation, which has
run the scheme for young people in care for the
Department for Education since inception, is
responsible for raising additional donations for the
accounts of all young people who were aged up to
18 in 2012 (and since)— so birth dates of holders
of these accounts date back to 1994. There is no
