JJ00501 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) I wonder if anyone can help. My age 16 child has been forced to leave school due to prolonged ill health, onset after Covid. It’s incredibly isolating and I was wondering if there are any local clubs (art perhaps) for her age group, or just meet ups in the area with other children out of school/ home educated who would be keen to meet. Anything very active is out of the question- so sports wouldn’t be possible. I’d be very interested in speaking to other parents in my position about how they manage.

Woodcraft Folk have groups for all ages. My daughter and (now teenage) granddaughters are all very involved, but not in this area. It's a very friendly community. However they do have camps sometimes, so some of the activities may not be suitable.

JJ00501 Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Thanks so much for this. It sounds lovely. I’ll look to see if they have something for her age group. 🙏 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/363177-meeting-older-teenagers-in-the-area/#findComment-1711378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik Posted Tuesday at 13:44 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:44 Another vote for Woodcraft. Locally they meet at Darrell Road, Alleyns and Nunhead/Peckham dependent on age My 14 year old has been involved for a few years. If you Google Woodcraft Southwark, it should throw up more details.
