Pocket money for a Grandchild

How about just giving her a lump sum if you can afford it ? Maybe a thousand pounds ? I think she’s very lucky to have such a wonderful grandmother who wants to help. She’ll be worth every penny of it as you are investing in her future.

£40 maybe.

I would give a monthly amount as it would be useful to her knowing she was getting some money on a set day each month. Once a one off amount is gone that's it. There are all sorts of things like bus passes, meals etc which that could help with. Don't know your circumstances but I save £20 monthly for each grandchild in a bank account and they get roughly £10 each to do with as they please. 7yo likes putting it in the bank, 4yo likes to buy things and 3yo buys monster trucks! So that's £30 monthly but they are still very young.

Is she going to college from home?
Train passes, bus passes, if she is away from home-that would be a big help?
A big shop every so often?

This entirely depends on your available cash.
College isn't expensive if she's living at home.

She's 16 3dog so it's almost certainly like doing A'levels at school.

I have given my GS £25 a month forever and a £20 note every time I see him...used to be every couple if months now more frequent. He is 17 so I think I should increase this and think about how I can help when he is at Uni.

It really depends on how much you can afford. I would give £100 a month.

When my daughter was at uni we supported her with a set amount of money. There were times when that was a struggle so I did a Tesco in line shop for her with lots of treats. She always loved that.

Since my grandchildren were born,i have given them £5 per month each which will end when they reach the age of 16.
It isn`t alot but it may help them get by at some point as it`s put into a savings account.
It is up to them how they spend it.

She is going to be at home and will get free bus travel as we are in London. Thanks all for your suggestions as I said she will get some monthly money from Mum and Dad ( they’ve been separated many years) I have 6 older than her GC that I wasn’t able to help support at college as I didn’t have the means then so I do feel a bit guilty giving her money but I’m going to do it anyway. I’ll probably settle on £40/50 and buy clothes or money for birthdays and Christmas.
Thanks for the input.
