You have the right to pocket money, whether you are being cared for by a relative, foster carer or living in a residential home. How you get your pocket money is agreed when you come into care and will usually be paid to you every week, at a set amount according to your age.
When you reach the September after your 16th birthday, you will get a personal allowance instead of pocket money. This will help you to become more independent as you'll be able to start paying for some items yourself. This could include your clothes, shoes or toiletries. You should talk to your carer/social worker before you start doing this so you can agree together what you will pay for and they can help you with budgeting.
