Super. Thanks, I'll send them to Bessemer Grange.

Are any local schools still collecting these vouchers? I have a bundle which I'd love to donate! I can post directly to the school if you give me an address... Thanks.

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers, based at the Copleston Centre, welcomes donations. It's best to phone the office first to let them know you're coming: 0207-732 0505.

Another option is to join a union i.e. GMB. You'll get free advice & representation for employment issues as part of your membership.

You can search online at the Law Society Find a Lawyer: http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/find-a-solicitor/ Also have a look at Chambers Directory for lawyers with peer recommendations: http://www.chambersandpartners.com/uk For London - employee they list: Employment: Employee: London Band 1 Slater & Gordon Lawyers Band 2 Bindmans LLP, Leigh Day & Co Band 3 Ferguson Solicitors LLP, Pattinson & Brewer, Simpson Millar LLP, Stewarts Law LLP Bindmans, Leigh Day & Co, and Pattinson & Brewer are all firms with strong reputations that I know as a non-practising solicitor. Bindmans represented a colleague of mine in an employment matter in the past. Both Bindmans & Leigh Day and Co do a lot of human rights work. You can see more info, peer reviews and contact details at Chambers & Partyners website (http://www.chambersandpartners.com/uk/Editorial/72761).

If you don't get satisfaction by following the good advice above, which should work if it is a good firm which values customer relations, Citizens Advice are a good place to follow-up for free advice. If you have free legal advice offered through your home insurance or union membership you could always get free advice from a solicitor this way. If you had to take legal action it would be through the Small Claims procedure (see info at: http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/your_rights/legal_system/small_claims.htm), but it would be good to resolve the issue without having to take this step and the effort rather depends on the value of the property lost.
