You might like to read this linked info about ISAs of which there are ones for cash and ones for stocks and shares. If you know nothing about money you might be best to stick to the cash ones.

Basic line on an ISA is that you put money in, same as into a savings account, but there's no tax on the interest earned. Like savings accounts there are various restrictions.
