Child Tax Credit Update

Yesterday the new goverment held an emergency budget - I thought it was worth posting this information about Child Tax Credits as it was not reported widely on the news.

From 2011 only families earning up to £41,329 will receive the benefit. From 2012 that will be reduced to £23,275.

Currently you can have a combined income of up to £58,000.

This is a huge drop which will affect more families that initially thought.

This along with the rise in VAT is going to have a massive impact on working families.

Fete Update!

Thank you to all that supported us on Saturday - we had a fantastic turn out and the sun was shining. We took just under £500 on the day - which was a phonemenal amount and exceeded our expectations - and that is down to the Support from Parents with donations and cakes (yum yum), the team on the day and all those that attended.

We will be using the money to buy new equipment for the outdoor area in the next few weeks ready for the summer months.

Next year we will be looking to do the Fete on Saturday 12th July!!

Child Trust Fund Update

If you haven't seen the news today - then you might not be aware that as of the 1st August Child Trust Funds will change. You will now only receive £50 or £100 (if a low income family) and from January 2011 they will cease to exist completely.
The extra payment of £250 at 7 years old will also stop.

Now apparently this won't affect your savings account but the interest received will never reach above 3% a year.
If you have a stakeholder account then these will probably not be managed as well as they have been in the past.

I will look into this abit more and find some more information and post soon!

Summer Fete!!

Update - we can now expect Phoenix Cards, Virgin Vie and Jewellery for sale on the day!!!
