Charities with schools fundraising programmes should be encouraged to learn that
children aged between 10 to 13, or “tweenagers” as some would call them, have more
spare cash than their counterparts in any western European country.
They get a weekly
average of £7.58 in pocket money and payments for odd jobs. The average for western
Europe as a whole is £4.79 a week.

The figures come from market analysts Datamonitor.
