Volunteering Opportunities for 14 year old?

[SarahHonorOak]

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

Many thanks indeed for these suggestions which I will follow up. Very helpful.

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.
