There is the Goose Green Ward that covers East Dulwich.

Reposting:

Thanks for joining the Goose Green Ward Coronavirus Mutual Aid group! The plan is to get organised to help each other and people in our community to get through this outbreak. There's no formal leaders as such, so please feel free to propose things, co-ordinate things and take initiative if you have the time and energy, whilst checking in with others to make sure our ideas and actions are the best they can be.


Already happening:


- There's a shared google drive, to collate ideas, plans, different working group/task areas:

[ ___________________________________________________ ] (At some point we may want to organise using some other online tools which might work better.)


- We will share info in this Whatsapp group about any Borough-wide Zoom calls (internet video chats). Details will also be posted on the Southward Mutual Aid FB page: https://m.facebook.com/#!/groups/833177740485170?ref=m_notif&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic


Roles to be filled:


- Managing the google drive: adding ideas and links people post here, thinking about how we manage access once the group really grows, thinking about how we can collectively track the status of tasks and who is doing what.


- Maybe 3-5 people could take on setting up an email address, finding a dedicated phone, sourcing free or cheap printing, making a list of community centres and streets to flyer, etc.


- Adding your ideas, concerns and anything else to the google drive, or sharing them in the Whatsapp group.


We're looking for:

-- Ideas on how to help people.

-- Ideas on how to ask people and engage people on what they need.

-- Ideas for different strands of work / working groups we should have.

-- Any resources made by others that could be useful to us.

-- Anything else you think could be important.


If you see new people join the group. Please copy and paste this message into the group again so they know what?s what!

Contacting the NHS @home team could also be useful for the same reason as the PALS post. They look after patients who have been discharged from hospital but still need medical care at home. They cover patients who have been in patients at Guy's , St Thomas' and Kings.

Their email is [email protected].

Hiya


Brilliant idea, thanks for getting things going.


Whilst both my partner and I are over 70 and hence make get caught up in the new move to longer term self isolation we can still help out with any stuff that we can do to help others either on line or by phone.


Whilst not being religious ourselves we do know through friends that lots of religious organisations are already gearing up to help. Does anyone have local contacts?


Foodbanks are an essential lifeline for low income households but with dropping footfall to supermarkets their donations are falling. Does anyone know what help we could provide to our local foodbanks and how to get in touch?


Schools are also an essential source of meals for children in low income households. Does anyone know what plans, if any, are in place to keep meals provision going should we get to the stage of school closures?


Apologies, more questions than answers but I realise there are lots of people on the forum who already have the knowledge and contacts we all will need so would love us all to be able to tap into them.


Clive

Same (Friern resident). Are the groups being organised street by street or are there one or two central ED groups out of interest?

I have organised a What's App group for Dunstans Road (still leafleting everyone) but please contact me if you wish to be a part of it. We've got about 30 people so far


On the Facebook page, there is a map which shows that Barry Road also has a What's App group and I am sure the list of active groups will grow.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      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.

      By Sue · Posted

      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.
