Money Management
Pocket Money
Each young person receives a regular amount each week to spend as they wish. Although young people do tend to spend some of the money on things they need, such as toiletries we do keep a supply of essentials should they run out!
Activities Money
There is no set budget each week for your activities however we encourage all young people to try and plan some paid and some unpaid activities throughout the week to ensure it’s fair to everyone.
Snack Money
Young people also receive a regular amount each week to buy your own snacks for your room, such as crisps, and biscuits.
Religious Celebrations & Birthday’s
Our young people receive an allowance to celebrate birthdays and religious celebrations.
Takeaway Money
Both the young people and staff receive takeaway money to spend each weekend.
Providence Pounds & Moira Money
Young people may be nominated by staff to receive Providence Pounds or Moira Money as reward for various things such as positive contributions to the house; being kind; good engagement; etc. Young people can trade Providence Pounds or Moira Money for real money.’
Decoration
Young people can personalise or decorate their rooms. Staff help to buy items that make each young person’s room feel more homely.
Clothing Money
Each young person receives a regular amount each month to buy new clothes.
Deductions
