Dormant Assets Scheme

The Dormant Assets Scheme, led by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, recycles unclaimed financial assets from dormant bank accounts and insurance policies into social and community investment funds. The scheme is currently active and being refined through technical consultations on a Community Wealth Fund in England, with recent parliamentary reviews informing strategy development.
