    An ISA is a good place to start, consider getting a part-time evenings or weekends job to top it up more, also look at passive earnings, perhaps a good idea for you would be one of the online companies where they loan out your money and you earn about 6% interest.

    See if there are any 1 or 2 yr bonds on offer by reputable organisations with reasonable interest and guarantee of return of investment.
