Charities sales of clothing not are designed to help poor people afford clothes. They exist to raise money for the specific charitable causes they support. They set the price of the goods at market price (i.e. the most they can sell them for) so they can do the most good for the causes they support.

I wonder if LondonMix has missed out a NOT by accident. I do not think charity shops are meant to provide cheap clothing for poor people but rather to raise money for their particular charity.

      Stolen mobile phones - where do they go?

      By ianr · Posted

      Thanks very much for that.   I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.  Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR,  of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us,  can when successful  seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.

      Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves.  Seems ED might be one of them ☹️

      Clapham to Dulwich Advice

      By malumbu · Posted

      Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast   

East Dulwich Forum

Established in 2006, we are an online community discussion forum for people who live, work in and visit SE22.
