Hi I am a stepmum to a 12 year old girl who has weight and confidence problems, as she doesn't live with my husband and myself we can only control a certain amount of her food intake but we can ensure that she is kept reasonably active given homework etc, but I am having problems finding clubs she would feel comfortable going to and enjoy attending, we are presently attending MENDS with her but would like to extend this to further activities such as dancing, drama or just a youth club for younger children (I have found a couple of youth clubs but they allow kids/young adults up to 19 which is a bit too old) can anyone help out do such clubs exist and where can I find this information out, as she lives in the Lewisham borough and goes to schoool there we would prefer her to go to the clubs in southwark and would prefer Dulwich so that we can give her dinner ensure any homework is done and to attend the club before returning her home to her mum.

There's a youth club for ages 11-14 on friday nights 7.30-9pm run by a local church just off Gowlett Road. You don't have to be a church-goer to attend and it's very inclusive. The people who run it are lovely. PM me if you want a contact number.

Other than that, have you thought about Cubs (for boys and girls) or brownies??

Hi Michelle,

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
