Uni application - volunteer work

I want to apply to uni and I've realised that I don't have many 'experiences' that I can put into my application. Lots of my friends went on NCS or are encouraged by their sixthform to help out with the younger years e.g. paired reading. I did not go on NCS and do not get opportunities at my college to do volunteer work so I decided I should start looking for volunteer work that I can do in my spare time. I need some suggestions of what type of volunteer work is available for a 16 year old. I would love for it to involve children as I am currently studying childcare at college and want to take it further at uni. So far the only thing that I've been able to think of is helping out at rainbows/brownies.
Please help

Hi April!

How about some of these ideas:
- Primary school, shadowing/volunteering once a week
- Children's centre and/or nursery
- Babysitting and/or tutoring
- After school clubs
- Are there any church groups around you that run for children? You could maybe volunteer with them
- Any theatre groups in your area
