Ways to raise money w/o job

why not speak to the financial advisor first? If you leave it till last minute you may find its too late as certain funds have a cut off date, or theres no funds left in their budget to help. And if there is a bursary you can recieve it would likely be an ongoing one and would save you the hassle/stress of trying to raise £200. Your going about this the wrong way! I cant understandy why discussing your entitlements with the college is your last priority?

I have done but I've been getting some pervy people asking me to do washing in short skirts and wear only a bra underneathe the shirt & to undo the first few buttons...

And the other times people didn't reply

I don't trust other people on gumtree.
I'd rather do things in my local area

I wanted to say, do be careful when advertising for work, especially when putting something along the lines of '17-year-old female seeking work'. There are some weirdos out there.

and ignore russxiii, not sure that was a serious suggestion!

How about asking thru friends, or friends of friends? Perhaps your parents might know someone who needs their dog walked/kids babysat/gardening done, etc? Or is there somebody you know thru church who might need some help?

I could ask around church

Do you live near a university? If so, the Psychology dept could put you on their list of volunteers to take part in experiments. I'm on the list at our local University and have been paid for a variety of experiments, some interesting and some boring. You are free to accept or decline whatever you are offered.

ooh that sounds interesting - what kind of things have you taken part in? I might sign up, the students would probably have a field day inside my messed up head!

I don't my nearest university is like 1 hour away.
and I'm in college so i don't want that kind of stuff to get in the way of my college work

How did you get on with your £200 target? I just saw your threads today, the original one was 5 weeks ago and you said you needed it by summer so was just wondering how you did with it, did all the pennies add up?

Charley.christian

nope but then on saturday i found out that my grandparents would take the money out of my savings they set up for me
So i didn't even need to try and raise money in 5 weeks (lol)

I'd still like to raise about £100 within 5 months though.

Lucky you!

Thanks, i don't have a lot of moeny in there now but i think its enough to cover 2 more years of college
and by the end of this year i should be able to get a stable job or at least a part time job in childcare.
