Volunteering as a community panel member with Southwark Youth Justice Service


Recommended Posts

Southwark Youth Justice Service is recruiting volunteers again, mainly to lead our community panels with young people who have offended, their parents and sometimes victims.  The Ministry of Justice requires five days of training to carry out this role.  Training focusses on developing Restorative Justice skills and is interactive and hopefully fun!  We ask that potential volunteers take note of the training days - two evenings (remote) and one Saturday (live) in October, then three live Saturdays in November, 10-4.30pm (dates in advert below).  All live training takes place at 47B East Dulwich Road.

We are also always looking for volunteer mentors and Appropriate Adults (see advert) and volunteers can learn all three roles, if they wish!

Please contact me (or [email protected]) for more information and/or an application form.  We look forward to hearing from you!!   Deirdre

    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
