Are you passionate about helping young people? Are you creative, enthusiastic, fun loving and enjoy making new acquaintances? If so, why not volunteer with Uturn?


Whether you?re a student looking for work experience or you?re retired and want to give back to your local community - or simply have a few hours to spare, we would love to hear from you. Uturn is a local project set up to serve young people within the community. We aim to provide opportunities for young people that are fun, challenging and sometimes even positively life changing.


We are currently seeking volunteers to join our friendly team to assist with activities during our holiday camps. Each camp can be between 3-5 days at a time, but if you can only spare an afternoon during the allocated period we would still like to hear from you. Our next camp is planned from Monday 24th to Thursday 27th October.


Ideally you will be willing to help, supervise or participate in sports (in or outdoor), cooking, media and music, escorting on external visits, engaging with the young people in workshops, and generally providing support and guidance. Previous experience would be an advantage but is not essential as all volunteers will work alongside experienced and professional youth workers and learn valuable skills.


For further information please see our website at www.uturn.org.co.uk and Facebook page: Uturn Community Project.


For an informal discussion about this role please contact Sean Harvey on 07734 617-096


To apply, send a CV and covering letter to:

UTurn Community Project Ltd, Epiphany Hall, Basanno Street, East Dulwich, SE22 8RU

    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!        
    • Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
    • Hello! I'm looking for a talented, affordable people photographer to do headshots for my start up's website, for 4 people. If you're keen I'd love to see examples of your work please. Many thanks
