Baseline drop-in service

Baseline provides support and advice for young people aged 16–18 (up to 25 years old for those with additional needs) not in employment, education or training (NEET).  
Watergate School building work

Works to expand Watergate School and provide a new adventure playground and multi-use games area on the Dumps site started on Monday 14 April, with the removal of the old adventure play equipment scheduled to start on Tuesday 22 April.

As part of this project, a new and improved adventure play facility will be provided, along with a high-quality multi-use games area and adjacent natural play space.

The project is expected to reach completion in late spring 2026, with play facilities available for the summer holidays and school facilities open for the start of the autumn term. Throughout the works, every effort will be made to minimise disruption to the school and local community, and youth service provision will continue onsite for as long as feasibly possible.

If you live in the borough of Lewisham, are aged 16–18 (or 16–25 years old and have additional needs) and are not in education, employment or training, Baseline can help you with:

  • getting into further education, training and employment
  • learning and volunteering opportunities
  • your CV and job applications
  • free condoms and sanitary products

We also work in partnership with organisations supporting young people.
