Hi, my DS would like to do his silver DoE.
Last year he was a helper in a school but he did not like helping younger children so much Confused

He could work in a charity shop but he is not keen.

Can you tell me what your child did to give me some ideas?

My DS is not the outgoing type, more like the nerdy type. He did wrote in his application (unprompted) that he wanted to improve his social skills.
He is not into sports. He likes rap music and debating asbract concept with his Dad! He is very much into maths and physics and computing.

Thanks

Both mine did parkrun. I know you said he’s not into sports but if you request barcode scanning it’s just scanning the finish tokens with an app so they enjoyed it. If you do junior parkrun it’s over in about 20 minutes so easy to fit it your life.
