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??

    • My wife has been complaining about this actually; we are on Crawthew Grove, it started a few years back, then seemed to stop, starting up again circa last September. I'm normally at work around the time she hears it most - between 11pm and 2AM, but even when I'm home I just can't hear it, which she just can't believe, so I guess it depends how sensetive your hearing is... Would love to get to the bottom of it too!
    • Perhaps like Malumbu they compost their food waste?
    • Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.
    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
