On 7 March 2023, government announced that community wealth funds will join youth,
financial inclusion and social investment wholesalers as named causes to benefit in England
from the expansion of the dormant assets scheme, beyond bank and building society
accounts, to new asset classes such as insurance. The vital new investment will be “distributed
to communities in deprived areas and released over a long time period, with local residents
empowered to make decisions on how to use the money.”
