Hello,

I am from Leonard Cheshire, a disability charity, and we are looking for friendly, patient Digital Champions to support the people who live at Athol House in Dulwich make the most of their IT equipment.

We need volunteers to support disabled people to access the digital world, get online and get more out of life. You will make a difference by helping clients use the internet and email, building digital confidence and troubleshooting basic IT issues.

You don?t need to be an IT expert, you need to have an everyday knowledge of IT and a friendly, patient personality. It would be great if you have experience with training or supporting people doing something for the first time.

By volunteering with us, you will gain experience working with disabled people. You will also learn about the developing field of assistive technology. We provide ongoing training and support along with expenses, as it?s important to us that our volunteers are not out of pocket because of volunteering.

We?d like volunteers who can volunteer during the week, Monday to Friday, between 9 to 5. We?d like a volunteer who can give at least one day or two half days a week. We hope that our volunteers will commit to at least 6 months with us.

Please note that we are looking for volunteers 18 years and older for this role.

We?d love to have more people join us to bring the benefits of technology to disabled people in your local area. Please email [email protected] or call 020 3242 0281 to express interest.

- Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

  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.
- Charter East Dulwich school

  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.
