Volunteering Opportunities for 14 year old?

Recommended Posts

My 14 year old daughter who like to do some community volunteering as part of her Duke of Edinburgh bronze award. Does anyone know of any opportunities (apart from charity shops, and royal voluntary service, and DoE website itself - all of which we have looked at)?

You could ask Friends of Kings at Kings College Hospital, they are always looking for volunteers to help out. I am sure they would be glad to find something. I think this is the contact: [email protected]

Failing that check out the websit e@ http://www.kch.nhs.uk/about/get-involved/volunteering


Hope this helps.


Thanks

I think her age may go against her for many things. When my eldest was young she helped out once a week at a local PHAB club (Physically handicapped and Able Bodied) She was about 13/14 - just generally got talking to other young people who had a disability and helping them with sport etc. Local special needs school may be able to advise whether they have a 'youth club' helping out in local Brownie/Cub group
My son volunteered at his old Junior school with afternoon clubs, maybe that is an option. Or sports clubs that run on the weekend or evenings? I know Tulse Hill hockey takes DofE volunteers, there must be more clubs like that out there keen for a teenager to help out.

    • A couple more PR / tickbox sessions are being offered by the organisers (the expression "reaching out" really makes my skin crawl), again presumably without any council representatives attending. No sign of the results of the consultation yet, or when the meeting is to decide whether to grant the licence... To whom it may concern,   We are reaching out to invite you to our upcoming Residents & Stakeholder Drop In Sessions for Gala 2025. We are hosting two drop-in style sessions to facilitate more in depth conversations, allowing us to run through our plans for 2025 and to discuss how we are going to address your feedback.    We look forward to meeting you in person and discussing our event plans for both Gala and our new community day, On The Rye Festival, in more detail.   Lunchtime Session: Time: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Date: Monday 17th of March Location: Watson's General Telegraph, 108 Forest Hill Rd, London SE22 0RS.   Evening Session: Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Date: Monday 17th of March Location: Watson's General Telegraph, 108 Forest Hill Rd, London SE22 0RS.   As these are drop-in sessions, you can arrive at any time during the below sessions - but it would be greatly appreciated if you could advise on an approximate arrival time.

    • I must say Dulwich is the worse borough I’ve seen for dog mess. Literally everywhere I step it’s dog poo! There is a lot of children/kids in this area god forbid they fell in it. Fix up dog owners!! 
    • I can’t recommend Niko highly enough. Not only did he solve a problem that was puzzling others, but he started with the least disruptive and least expensive option which worked. He is also a delight to have in the house. 07818607583
    • I have been training with the brilliant personal trainer Fox (yes, that is his real name) for over 3 months now. I can't speak highly enough about Fox, Gok and their team. I was desperately unfit and now I am in danger of turning into a gym junkie! If you are considering joining a gym/class or getting a personal trainer then I would 100% recommend Gokay Fitness.
