Hello Pecksniff, I am surprised no takers, have you thought about advertising in nearby Children centres????

Trinidad, I think you will find that most of the children's centres in Southwark and surrounding areas have been closed down.

Dulwich Wood Nursery School and Children's Centre

Children's centres provide advice and support for parents and carers. Their services are available to you from pregnancy right through to when your child goes into reception class at primary school.

Services offered at all children's centres

Children's centres are developed in line with the needs of the local community so no one children's centre is the same. However, there is a core set of services they must provide:

- Child and family health services, ranging from health visitors to breastfeeding support

- Most centres offer high quality childcare and early learning - those that don't can help advise on local childcare options

- Advice on parenting, local childcare options and access to specialist services for families like speech therapy, healthy eating advice or help with managing money

- Help for you to find work or training opportunities, using links to local Jobcentre Plus offices and training providers

I contacted Marlon and was told they just want volunteers to help children with their homework and neither Grove Vale nor Dulwich libraries were on the long list ofwhere they want the volunteers.

There used to be employed staff called 'Homework helpers' in years gone by...

I assume the organisation who wants the volunteers should pay all charges, including the cost of a DBS
