HM Revenue & Customs:Saving Gateway - what is it and who qualifies

basically whatever you save over 2 years up to 25 quid a month gets 50% added by teh Gov.

Certain rules to qualify but IMHO this is a good idea and a good opportunity.

This scheme won't cost the goverment much, most people on low incomes struggle to get through the week never mind save.
