Savings Advice

Hi
I have £6500 in a mini cash isa with Smile taken out in 2001. Plus I have £3300 in a regular savings account with HSBC. In addition I have made £1700 over payments with my mortgage over the last 8 months.
I would like to retain access to the £6500 for emergencies. But would like to invest the £3300 in an investment which has a higher rate of return.
I addition, I would like to invest £500 per month in something which would be for a year.
Grateful for any advice
Regards

The Smile cash ISA doesn't have a good interest rate, so one thing to do is to transfer the money into a better one. Have you contributed to the Smile ISA this tax year, and if so, how much?0
