3 introduction

Welcome to our guide to activities and services for young people in Southwark. The guide is intended for use by people who work with, or run services for, young people aged 11 to 19 (up to 25 for young people with special needs), though parents and carers will find it useful too. We hope it helps you see the full range of services on offer. Please share this information with others, and encourage young people to make the most of what’s on offer. The information is listed under themes, within our four locality areas – Camberwell and Dulwich; Peckham, Nunhead and Peckham Rye; Bermondsey and Rotherhithe and Borough, Bankside and Walworth. Some of the projects cover the whole borough although they may be based in one particular location. To find out which projects are borough-wide there is a separate index at the back as well as the usual alphabetical index. The guide was collated by the youth providers network, a group of people who work with or provide services for young people, and which supports youth providers in Southwark. The network has regular meetings, and a weekly e-bulletin updates members on current projects. If you would like to find out more about the network, or would like your service details promoted on our youth website, www.whtvr.org, please contact: The youth providers network Southwark Council 160 Tooley Street SE1P 5LX email [email protected] or call 020 7525 1523. We hope you find it useful and look forward to hearing your feedback on this booklet.
