Hi Mary, Are you doing the 5k fun run next Saturday? Me too! House of Tippler, Lordship Lane does an amazing brunch (have attached pics) - I would book in advance though as such a big group. Good luck on run.

Thank you for your suggestions, I will look into both the activity weekends and mentoring both sound extremely rewarding and will be so beneficial for me in the adoption process, even if I wasn't adopting this would be something I would love to do. It's fantastic there are these schemes that help children out there. I will also check out doit.org.uk. Thanks again.

Hi there, I don't know if this the correct place to post, apologies if it isn't. My husband and I are thinking of adopting through Southwark Council and as part of the process they advise that you have some volunteering work with children. I have looked up some volunteering websites, which have some great suggestions but as I work full time I am only available weeknights and weekend, there wasn't anything local available. I looked into brownies & guides but they start too early. Does anyone know of anyone looking for volunteers? Also has anyone gone through the adoption process with Southwark Council? Any advice would be appreciated, we are at the very start of this journey. Feel free to PM me. Thanks in advance.
