Good home for excess teddies?


Recommended Posts

We've been given quite a few teddies by friends and family for our newborn son to the point where there are probably a few too many!


Does anyone know where we can donate some to? We don't have a car so walking distance would be good

Heber School has a teddy tombola for its summer fair. It's a bit early now but they'll be calling for donations in a couple of weeks so I'm sure you could drop them off there at the reception if you explain it's for the fair.


Otherwise perhaps Kings College Hospital? Or a women's refuge? I think there's one on Barry Road but don't know the details.

There are young children at Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) who I'm sure would love a teddy friend. It is based at the Copleston Centre SE15 on Tuesdays.


The website is www.sdcas.org.uk

There have been a couple of articles about them in local papers over the last year:

    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
    • Crikey. How did you know it was Immigration Enforcement? 
    • Saying cyclists are the most antisocial people in London isn't helpful.  Nor is the Standard referring to cyclists as lycra clad louts  Yes we can have an adult conversation.  But emotive knee jerk nonsense is not going to achieve this and just plays into the hands of those wanting a manufactured culture war
