Meeting older teenagers in the area

[JJ00501]

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.

Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.

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.

Thanks so much for this. It sounds lovely. I’ll look to see if they have something for her age group. 🙏
