Try out premium bonds

People argue that premium bonds are no better than the national lottery, however at least with NS&I premium bonds you are investing in something that is state approved, and was originally started as a way to encourage investment in the post-WWII period.

Can’t boost your income? Reduce your outgoings

Obviously it isn’t always going to be possible to increase your income, however it can often be easier to reduce some outgoings than you might think. For instance, a lot of money can be saved via tactical grocery shopping, especially if you plan your meals for the week in advance.
