Please could I have any recommendations for volunteering opportunities for my 13 year old daughter for her Bronze D of E Award, working with old people, children, in libraries/charity shops? Will visit a few places this weekend but just wondered if anyone knew first hand, which organisations have accepted these young volunteers into their midst?

Thank you!

Hi.

I run one of the Brownies units in East Dulwich (at St Anthony's school) and I have had young DoE volunteers before and would be happy to consider your daughter. If it's of interest please PM me and we can have a chat (FYI - from Sunday, I'm going away for 10 days so may not be able to answer messages quickly).

You have to be 14 to volunteer in a Southwark Library - https://www.southwark.gov.uk/libraries/adults/volunteer-at-your-local-library


Oxfam support DoE volunteering - https://www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/volunteer-with-us/duke-of-edinburgh and our nearest Oxfam shop is 9 Half Moon Lane.


Good luck.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
