Here is a quick post on a few ideas to earn an extra income on the side. As the weather starts to warm up, spring arrives and covid lockdown comes to an end. The country feels like it can get back to some sort of normality.
Gardening/landscaping; the grass is starting to grow and people will want it cut and looked after. Most people have the equipment to do it just not the time, ask your parent’s friends if they need a garden helper. Go one step further and buy a second-hand lawnmower! Grass grows quickly and if you do a good job they will ask you to do it again.
Washing cars; items needed are relativity cheap, you just need a bucket, sponge, soap, and some polish and microfibre cloths. Watch a tutorial on YouTube, you need to make sure you do not damage the car so be careful when cleaning it. You can charge per hour, just make sure you do it well to ensure repeat jobs, word of mouth is one of the best advertisers.
Social media; grow your social media pages and get paid to post. Find your niche and build you’re following up. This one is completely free, it just takes time. I have a post about it, take a look for more information on monetizing your page. https://genzmoney.co.uk/make-money-from-your-tiktok/
Investing in stocks and shares; I have a few posts here I can tag, this one requires a bit of starting capital but is a very useful thing to start. The longer you are in the markets for the better chance of a return, just be careful investments can go down as well as up.

Hopefully these help you save up, I have done all of these and saved enough for my first car insurance and lessons. Before going onto getting a full time job working in a pub.
