Some employers will offer stakeholder pension schemes, but individuals can also set one up with pension providers. This means that they are available to the self-employed or those not working. Other people can contribute to your stakeholder pension. For example, a spouse or partner could contribute , or one could be set up for a child, allowing contributions to start building up from an early age.
