There is usually a department at college/6th form that has a list of local businesses willing to offer work experience to students.
Start with them. Alternatively many parents can offer to host students at their place of work. Also prospects.co.uk has a useful tool that can help you decide on possible careers depending on your skills/interests.
Hope that helps.

Thank you!
I've just asked my school career advisor, and they've got a list of work experience from the Year 10 work experience week, and they said they'll get it sorted after half term!

In June? Mine started in September / October it needs 37 hours by June. Anyways work experience is not fun when you can do a apprenticeship instead.

37 hours is just one working week - most full time jobs are 35-40 hour weeks so you are basically doing the same thing but perhaps spread out. Most UK schools encourage students to secure 1 week work experience at some point in yrs 10-12.
