Where can I donate unwanted furniture?

British heart foundation will collect furniture to sell in their shops (though my experience of a non local branch when clearing my late parents' house was not great at all. They twice failed to come on the agreed day. Brixton branch in Acre Lane, might be better though). Emmaus in west Norwood used to collect and may still do so.

Lee Oasis (leeoasis.org.uk) in Lewisham is great. They give stuff away to people with referrals e.g. when clients moving out of a hostel/ refuge into their own accommodation/ from health professionals etc. They alos have a baby project and give away high chairs, stair gates etc. Not sure if they collect from Southwark though?

You could donate one of the single beds to me! I have recently split from my partner, we have a 4 year old daughter together. I have a flat in Peckham , but no bed for my daughter. My ex has stated that unless I have a bed for her she cannot stay. Money is very tight at the minute, and I would gladly donate the bed to charity once I am back on my feet and can afford a new one. Please help!

The Southwark Day Centre for Asylum seekers in the Copleston Centre, Copleston Road SE15 has a very good programme for asylum sekers so they could probably take them or point you in the right direction for someone locally. Their number is 020 7732 0505

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
