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.

    • For PECKHAM PODCAST @NigelBiggar Lord Biggar CBE came to Peckham, in part to talk with local people, some of whom did not show up on the day. They were a group of local young Black students I had contacted via a local connection. I later learnt that she would not expose her young people 'to that man'. Others had looked him up on Google apparently ... just as well he has links with the Free Speech Union. #Colonialism #Empire #Slavery #SlaveTrade ... if you feel you can risk it, here is that man:    
    • "Unfortunately, over the GALA period the park pond has suddenly become littered with plastic cups and bottles that have been thrown into the water (I assume thrown as not sure how else they would get in there). This may be pure coincidence but prior to last weekend the pond was clear. Does park management have a way to get onto the pond and fish all the plastic rubbish out, I wonder? It can't be good to leave it." it's been very windy the past few days, could be down to that
