I may be biased but my DD12 is kind, funny, goes to after-school activities around Hampshire, meets lots of girls her age, but is struggling to make really good friends. How can I help her?

Sorry to hear shes struggling to make good friends. Does she struggle in school too?
What extras does she do, are they ones where its easy to get to know each other?

Cadets is a great way for them to meet people. There are obviously army, RAF and Sea cadets but also Police cadets.
They do loads of different activities.

Girlguiding. She is the age for guides, and they are usually lovely, friendly girls, often making friends for life in guiding

I would agree with both of these and add St John's ambulance if she tends that way. If all else fails throwing money at it can work- cinema followed by pizza is usually popular in this age group- ice staking season is also comming....
