Volunteering

I'm relatively new to the area and was thinking about signing-up to be a mentor at a local school or youth group, but don't really know where to start (I also haven't done this type of volunteering before).

Any tips or suggestions gratefully received.

www.stjohnswaterloo.co.uk/content/contact.php Waterloo Time Bank used to be good, but I don't know how they're getting along ATM.

I'm sure Volunteer Centre Southwark - based at Elephant & Castle - can point you in the right direction: http://www.volunteercentres.org.uk/

Or this lot

Greater London Volunteering

They're based in Webber St., SE1

Get in touch with us at the Cuming Museum to find out about volunteering opportunities we have. 020 7525 2332 cuming.museum@southwark.gov.uk

I'm a mentor at the Harris Academy on Southwark Park Road - be happy to introduce you to the mentor coordinator if you send me a private message.

Thanks everyone for the responses - really helpful, and hugely appreciated.
