Child Trust

Hi. My mum is moving abroad in the next couple of years so I need to look at getting a mortgage soon.

I have got £2000 saved for a deposit at the moment.

I have a child trust fund set up of £4000 that I will be access at the age of 21 (I am 18 at the moment)

I am wondering if there is any way I can apply to release this amount early because of my situation?

Thanks in advance.

    Enquire of the Trustees? In particular if they (or one of them) established the Trust.
