Hi there, We are looking for some additional support for my son leading up to his GCSE's this year - ideally in person. We are based in East Dulwich. Many thanks, Lynners.

LOVE the Fair Trade Centre. Great products - and so lovely purchasing items that support both Fair Trade, and a great charity in our community. Whatsmore, lovely Mary who runs the centre, welcomed my son in to do his Volunteering for his Duke of Edinburgh last year. Such a lovely lady. She taught him a lot, and was very kind with my rather shy chap. I'm sure they could so with as much support as possible to keep everything running. xx

Hi there, Our lovely son is nearly 15 and doing the DofE. As part of it he needs to have a role as a Volunteer for 3 months for one hour a week. He was thinking he'd like to help perhaps an older person, or someone who finds it tricky to get out, to do their weekly shop for them, or maybe help them in their garden. We are near Heber School in East Dulwich so ideally somewhere that wasn't too far would be great. Also open to other ideas. Many thanks!

Hi all, my son is looking for Year 10 work experience for next year May 9th - May 12th He is particularly interested in finance and economics (and also very good at history and geography) It could be with an accountant or maybe the finance side of a small business/solicitors etc. He would particularly like a smaller, local company. Can anyone help out a lovely local boy please? Many thanks! Lynners

Can anyone advise on a local solicitor that could help me prepare a contract for using freelancers? Many thanks!

Hi ED lovelies, Any local cake makers please? I'd love to use someone local to make a cake for a party - 60-70 serves. Would be great to hear some recommendations please. Lynners 💫

Thanks for your help both!

Thanks so much will do!

Hi there, My mother-in-law is completing and supposed to be moving next Friday 17th and her removal company has just cancelled on her. Please let me know if anyone can help. Thank you in advance.

All for supporting local businesses at these times! These beautiful wreaths are made by a local Mum with a design background, whose freelance work has sadly disappeared during Covid. Get yourself a gorgeous wreath and help her out at the same time! It's a win win! See attached for details. xx

I saw a flier saying that this was happening specifically on the 28th March, but are people doing it every night? So lovely if they are. If so will try and get a Landells Road possie together. So lovely. The other one I've heard about is people putting a picture/painting of. rainbow in their window as a beacon of hope. Haven't seen this yet in East Dulwich but want to do this on the weekend.

Waking up today to a very cold day we had the joys of a boiler that stopped working. Ringing around a lot of plumbers/gas engineers I was having no luck trying to find someone who could come out to look at it today. We have two kids so didn't love the idea of having no hot water or heating for too long. I spoke to Gerry who was also on a job and would struggle to get to me today. However he so very kindly said he could try and talk me through a solution to the problem which he did. With Gerry as my right hand man over speaker phone I managed to get the front off the boiler and reset it. Much joy was had as it kicked into action! Thanks so much Gerry for taking the time to help me. You are an absolute gentleman.

Just wanted to add that I just went for a full refresher motorway session with Nick - 2 1/2 hours. Headed to the M20 and did a good stretch. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to build their confidence.

Went for a 1h 15m lesson for ?45. One hour is ?35.

Hi there, Just got back from a refresher driving course with Nick from www.nicholasdrivingacademy.co.uk I just wanted to recommend him as he made me feel very comfortable and helped with my confidence. Lovely guy

Thank you Tom!

Hi there, I have tried using a long wire unblocker on my external downpipe to no avail, so am looking for a service to be able to unblock it. Any ideas please lovely Forum? Lynners

Thanks so much for the info. Such a pity we're away that weekend. Any other way you know of getting hold of this bug man please? Best, Lynlea

Thank you - good top tips!

Ah yes. I had contacted her some time ago and I don't think she had any activities on for the older kids at the time - but I will absolutely double check to see if this has changed at all. Many thanks!

Hi there, My son is hugely in to the outdoors and insects. Does anyone know of any foresting type club etc. for older kids? He's 10. I've been asking around for ages and they all seem to be for younger children. Anything with an insect/reptile vibe would be amazing too. Any suggestions greatly received! Thanks

Hi all, My lovely cleaner has lost a few of her Clients recently through people moving away etc. and I wanted to recommend her on the forum if you are looking for someone. Nicole is trustworthy, friendly, lovely with my children and most importantly cleans well, takes care in her work (she loves a plumped cushion!) and often asks if I am happy with everything. I would happily recommend her. Her number is 07507 373 456.

I am looking for handy man/removal guy with a van who can help move a piano from Herne Hill to East Dulwich. It is a very inexpensive piano I am buying - just to see if my little boy takes to it - but the Piano Mover companies I have spoken to will charge over double the amount I am paying for the piano. The piano has castors but you would probably need some sort of plank to get it on the van - and of course man power. Is anyone able to help with this please? Many thanks!

Hi all, I have begun using Sketch Up today and am trying to steer my way through the various You Tube tutorials. I have got so far before I've now realised I need help. Is there anyone out there you considers themselves an expert that would be available to teach me. Look forward to hearing from you.
