How to start saving for kids

On this episode of the Money Matters podcast Danni and Laura are talking kids and money. Many people want to give their children a savings cushion, to help them with everything from education costs to buying a car or house. Laura catches up with Charlene Young, AJ Bell’s pensions and savings expert, about how to navigate all the options from ISAs to pensions, and how investing little and often can really add up by their 18th birthday.

They also talk about how to help children develop a healthy relationship with money whatever their age and Danni chats to Orla McKeating, who is a single mum, podcaster and co-founder of Still I Rise - a programme to celebrate diversity in storytelling for kids. She’s got great tips about giving pocket money, getting kids to save up for things they really want and getting them comfortable with finance.
