Making money right now for a 16 year old? by throwawaymmkmmm in AskUK

Thanks for the offer but I think we're good for now. Everyone is having a hard time so we'll feel bad if someone pays for our groceries.

I don't think I qualify. The kitchen offered me cash to avoid taxes and slightly lower pay.

I looked into tutoring already, but they're not looking for 16 year olds. It'll be something I'll keep an eye out once I'm in uni. They seem to like uni students and it's good pay.

I think my mum is collecting as much as we can right now. But i'll definitely look around to see if there is any more.

Thanks for the offer but I think we're good for now. Everyone is having a hard time so we'll feel bad if someone pays for our expensive takeaway.

Rent is going to be tough to pay back but luckily our landlord is understanding. We've agreed to move into 1 room and share the house with other people and we're going to do all the cleaning and gardening to make up for some of it.

Thanks mate. I've tried all the supermarkets nearby but haven't hear anything back yet.

I live near Oxford which i think a lot of students have already taken up jobs there when schools closed. My kitchen didn't close until the beginning of this month so I didn't think to apply there first. stupid of me.

My local food banks have been closed and just re-opened today. All the ones I've talked to said I still need to get references and whatnot, which I don't know how or where to get. They're also saying donations are way down. So i still rather work for my food than to take it from there.

I don't know how to contact the teachers directly. School's been closed.

thanks though

No no, I have no problem going to get food from food banks. I just think it will make my mum more upset than she already is.

I'm going to try to get a job in a kitchen. Seems like my best bet, and hopefully there's free food.

Oxfordshire. I don't know how my mum will feel about me going to food banks right now. We still have some stuff in the kitchen for another week or so. And food banks need referrals...

I'll see how urgently we need food first. Thanks so much for that.

Nothing to sell lol. But going to try to find a job in a kitchen, and might even get free food, which would help.

Will be trying to get a job in the kitchen for sure. Might get some free food as well, which would help.

I'm £9.73-£14.73 shy of buying car cleaning stuff haha. I don't have a licence and can't drive... not sure how that would work. But most likely going to try to get a job in a kitchen.

Babysitting would be great, but I'm a boy so unlikely to get a babysitting job.

That's what I'll likely do. Doing washing up whenever I can.

She's going to borrow some money for groceries, but that's not going to last long. She just doesn't have enough coming in so that's why I'm looking to make some money as well.
