More cycle storage and lobbying for that please - already a shortage and more of us (in terraces and flats) buying bikes owing to Covid - THANK YOU

Albrighton Community Centre also offers food donations to locals / families in need, so worth donating there also, Thanks

I agree - my mum struggled with this at one point when supermarket delivery slots were hard to come by. Could possibly enlist local charities to assist too? LinkAge do a marvellous job for example If people wish to help I would suggest joining LinkAge or similar as a telephone befriender - that means more support for the elderly and more response when they need something, whether food or medicine etc.

Completely agree

Please consider buying a ticket or two and sharing with friends and fellow business owners. Prizes from Rye Books, Eos Dance, ESPH and more... Thanks for your support during this time, East Dulwich Mummy

Any more planned? I finally bought some apple cider vinegar ;)

Sounds like fun!

Hi there, I am setting up a raffle to help a local business owner who has no income at present (Nimble Arts - she is a director of a limited company so paid in dividends rather than salary) and 50% to go to the London Air Ambulance charity. Would anyone care to donate some money for prizes or a voucher from their business? Thanks very much! East Dulwich Mummy

Keep an eye on www.nimblearts.co.uk and also the Dog Kennel Hill adventure playground might also run a summer scheme

There is an excellent Facebook group full of ideas and inspiration - called 'Family Lockdown Tips and Ideas' https://www.facebook.com/groups/871176893326326/

Sharing this as the theatres and arts are really struggling at the moment, so this is a way for them to make money and offer some activities for children especially those not going to school at the moment. https://www.shakespearesglobe.com/learn/ You can also stream some Shakespearean plays. Website is full of amazing resources!

I'd definitely be up for a petition.. we have some great local councillors who I am sure we could persuade to be supportive, along with Helen Hayes MP who is very very proactive in many ways on different issues. We also have the fab Caroline Pidgeon Lib Dem rep living in the area and other famous bods like Jenny Eclair, Cathy Newman from Ch4 news and others, I wonder if we could get support on social media too :)

Lots are under utilised - one on our road has 2 empty spaces but when I emailed Cycle Hoop they confirmed they do not monitor usage, so if someone pays for the year they have the space for the year, even if they move away or sell their bike for example. I really feel there should be more monitoring by Cycle Hoop but not sure how we would put pressure on / change their mind so they took this action. I have had 2 spaces on various road lists for 18 months and still 67 on my road and 17 is the highest up I am on a nearby road. I wonder if the council might be more prepared to install some cycle stands like this one as they take up less space and can be easily mounted on the pavement: https://www.thebikestoragecompany.co.uk/product/the-sheffield-cycle-stand-galvanised/?gclid=CjwKCAjw8df2BRA3EiwAvfZWaH9Ebmu4AC3IRf_DNweOTO5bHWA1O4hSNk0iQBcjS6_fl8_u_xJNzRoCga8QAvD_BwE

They're running another over the half term... https://www.nimblearts.co.uk/nimble-adventurers-live

Bumping as half term is nearly here!

Highly recommended :) My sons (6 and 10) did the Easter virtual holiday club and it kept them occupied and entertained. Lots of fun...

https://www.nimblearts.co.uk/nimble-adventurers-live Only ?20 per family! Amazing value, suitable for age 4 upwards. Needs some supervision but great fun. I can recommend having had my sons participate in the Easter virtual holiday club.

Not sure if you can still sign up but this is a great way of supporting a business in the area that cannot run owing to the situation with Coronavirus - I've had a peek at day 1 and it is full of fun stuff, from making a rocket booster pack and disguise to writing and recording your own little rascal rap :)

You can get cards from Amazon that you plant and they grow into sunflowers :) nice idea to write cards to friends and family... The East Dulwich Mummy website has heaps more links and ideas :)

Sharing a post from Nimble Arts (fantastic holiday club) who have used their creative skills to come up with a VIRTUAL holiday club this Easter :) ?20 per family so a complete bargain and saviour for working parents like me! For more info and to register click here [https://www.nimblearts.co.uk/nimble-adventurers-live] As promised we have been working hard to bring the magic and creativity of Nimble Arts directly into your home while we're all in lockdown. And today we're opening sign up for our Nimble Adventurers Creative Virtual Holiday Club for 4-11's from 6th - 17th April! The registration fee is only ?20 per family (not on Magic Booking but via a sign up form - see below!) - have a watch of the introductory video to see what it's all about: The daily adventures are designed around a narrative that will come to life the more parents and carers play along - you can go really big here throwing yourself into the missions each day, or help your children get set up with what they need and then escape for a little time just sitting and staring...! We haven't differentiated the adventures by age - again this is something you can bring to life for a 4 year old, 8 year old, 10 year old - whoever you've got! They can meet the challenges at their own level. They'll have an online 'class' on a system called Class Dojo to join (with you managing the login) where they can post everything they've made and get live feedback with children their age. We'd recommend a daily timetable of: 10.00 - 10.15 Crack the code sent each morning on Class Dojo (you'll get a login for this when you sign up) and read through the daily tasks 10.15 - 11.15 Task 1 11.15 - 11.45 Break 11.45 - 12.45 Task 2 12.45 - 1.30 Lunch 1.30 - 2.30 Task 3 2.30 - 3.00 Break 3.00 - 4.00 Task 4 Then at 4pm children will receive a message on the success of their mission! If you're ready to sign up visit: https://www.nimblearts.co.uk/nimble-adventurers-live ... and then await further instructions and a top secret message from Professor Nimblino! We really look forward to you joining us and sending all best wishes for a healthy and happy few weeks! The Nimble Arts Team [email protected] 0333 014 2576
