Clothes donations needed


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,


I am putting out a call on behalf of a family who are in dire need of help. Through my work, a family with a 13 year old girl and 10 year old boy are in desperate need of clothing donations. They have nothing so any donations would be gladly accepted. Any size 2 boys shoes would also be greatly appreciated. If anyone thinks they can help out, please PM me and I would be more than happy to come and collect anything.


Many, many thanks.

Hi Jellybeanz,


Thanks for taking the time to post. I have received a few donations but anything else that can help this family would be hugely appreciated. It?s very kind of you.

Hi SebsC - do you still need things? I can see what I have, though it's difficult without knowing the children's sizes (they can vary so much at that age!). Would any books be good at all or is it just clothes?

Thank you so much to all those brilliant Forum users who responded so generously. The family were deeply touched by the response from you all and it?s helped to restore faith in them. A massive thanks from me too as without all your donations I would not have been able to help them half as much. I?m not taking any more donations now as they have definitely got enough to keep them going for the time being. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
    • You know when you are wrong but think you're right because the internet etc? Read it and twist it how you want if it makes you feel better. I use a card as well as cash. You are pro jumping the gun and pro cynical. Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Pro cash 🙃Who isn't? Is being pro card some kind of middle class virtue signaling thing? Like jumping to conclusions seems to be. Oooh the uncouth commoner uses that dirty cash stuff. Orf with his head.
    • Using cash is a good way of budgeting for some, if they don't have the cash in their pocket they can't buy things they may not need.  Financial institutions are keen to get us to all use plastic and credit because its harder to spot when you are at your limit and debit equates to interest which is how they make money. So dear Sephiroth, before you slam people for being pro cash, maybe think about why they are and not just view the world from your limited perspective 🤔 
    • The card machine in the dry cleaner's wasn't working, so the guy asked my husband to go to the cash till and withdraw some money....
