  1. Hello,


    I've just set up a free school uniform exchange to try to help with the cost of living situation as well as reducing landfill.


    If anyone has any school uniform to donate (also shoes, football boots etc), please send me a DM for drop off address.


    Also if people could like the Facebook page that would be great to spread the word.

    Thanks 😊

  2. I would like to appeal to dog owners to stick to the rules about where dogs can be off the lead in Dulwich park. The path around the perimeter is where dogs can be let off the lead, but there are clear signs around most of the rest of the park indicating that dogs should be kept on a short lead.


    I walk in the park with my toddler and baby most days, and almost every time we are accosted by dogs off the lead where they shouldn?t be. This morning a dog jumped up into my toddler?s face which was terrifying for him, but sadly not the first time this has happened. I asked the owner to put their dog on a lead but they walked away without doing so. The park is for everyone to enjoy and so I would like to plead with people with dogs to abide by the rules. My toddler has been jumped up on several times and now is starting to be afraid of dogs.


    Thank you for taking the time to read.

  3. I found Steve and Nichola through the EDF. They've just sanded my kitchen and sitting room floors, including leveling the floor between the two rooms. They did a fantastic job - really efficient and cleaned up exceptionally well at the end. I am really happy with the end result, which looks totally different from the grubby old boards they were presented with. Their price was very reasonable too. I would definitely recommend them.
  4. I also highly recommend Matthew and his team; one of his men did an excellent job of painting and making good a few things I'd messed up. The job was done to a very high quality, he cleared up beautifully and I was very happy. Better than other people I have used recently in terms of end result - I have only praise.
  5. If anyone has a spare room and is interested in helping out you could consider volunteering for London Nightstop. It's a charity supporting young people facing homelessness; they place people aged 16-25 with hosts for one night only while they find them a more sustainable solution for them. The young person might stay with different hosts for a couple of weeks, but it keeps them off the streets. It's not for people who have been homeless for a long time. I have been a volunteer for around 3 years and have certainly had refugees and asylum seekers as well as other young people who are in need staying with me. I know that there have been some Syrian young people being placed in the past few months. There is a very good process of vetting volunteers and young people too and I have never felt threatened - I really love it. You just need a spare room and the ability to cook a hot meal. And some love and flexibility :-)

    It is also a very flexible and quite robust system - you just sign up for the nights you know you're free; I only have young women staying with me, and there is 24 hour support provided in case you need it (I never have).

    If anyone wants more information feel free to get in touch with me.

  6. Hi

    Can anyone tell me what species the trees are on Upland Road? I mean the ones on the pavement opposite the old Dulwich Music Shop and the new jeweller, at the Northcross Road end. I need to know for insurance purposes; am not very good with tree species and can't get the Southwark Council Tree Preservation people to answer the phone.

    Thanks

    Alice

  7. I found Clive and Grant on the Forum - recommended by lots of people - want to add that they were great for me too - did a great job (spotlights on a high ceiling, fitted wall lights, a new socket and upgraded the MCBs) - very good job, am happy with quality, they were competitively priced, friendly and I will definitely use their services again. Also nice to see a father and son team working :-)
