Great,thanks for that info re: the food bank in ED on Barry Road. I did a Bing search and only came up with Peckham, so was worried that there was no food bank in ED. I have Windows 10 on my computer as my OS, but I find when I use Google for searching it keeps asking me to install the Google Chrome bowser, but that doesn't seem to work too well with Windows 10, so I just use Microsoft Edge as my bowser and Bing as my search machine.

My pleasure. It is good to know that there are places available. There seem to be quite a few food banks across the borough. Computers can be very fussy - yesterday, having had no problems accessing a website ever before the browsers (FireFox and Chrome) suddenly decided that they couldn't open any pages on the site! I use it for local information - am hoping they are feeling better today!

Pugwash, do you know whether there are restrictions on what donations are accepted by Christ Church/the Pecan food bank?


I have a number of unopened food items as a result of changing my diet, but I don't want to take them to a food bank if they aren't going to be used by those in need.


They include canned fish, canned fruit in syrup, stock cubes, hot chocolate, golden syrup, Lea & Perrins sauce.


I've also got some hair products (mousse etc) which I no longer use - do food banks take things like that as well?

You can also drop things off in supermarkets - I know there's a basket for donations in Morrisons, probably one in Sainsbury



I think the rule is - tinned or dried food is fine, they don't take perishables (fresh veg etc) so all of your items sound fine.


I don't know about toiletries but homeless shelters might take them

Thanks Jennys, most of the places in that link are in the States?


I'll check out the one in London. The page is headed January 2019, so the info should hopefully be still current.

    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
