Your FAQ

Question: What about clothes and pocket money?

Answer: Whether you're living in a foster home or a Children's Residential Unit, your carers will receive money from Children's Social Care to provide you with clothes and give you regular pocket money. Of course you may have your own clothes you want to take with you too.

When you need new clothes, your carers may go shopping with you or let you buy your own depending on your age and the situation.
