I make sure I only give genuinely nice stuff to the charity shops. It is not their job to sort through all my old tatt for me.


Clothing that is worn, has buttons missing, and underwear etc goes in the big collection banks in Sainsburys carpark or in one of these dubious door to door collection bags. They can sort through that lot if they like and try and find something useable. I imagine they sell the worst of it for rags.

When I said disposed of - and yes most of it is - I meant sent away to other shops around the country. You have to realise the demographic of where these shops are. I gave away an awful load of old crap (wearable crap..) to the street collection thingy, because I knew it would be sent away, or 'ragged' if I took it to the shop. Basically unless it's exceptional, or designer, it won't be put out on display. (Also, it's a tiny shop and there's no room!!)

That's not true, surely.


The Mind shop in ED sells stuff from places like Primark, and most of what they have on display is neither designer nor exceptional - in my opinion anyway :)

You will be surprised what people send in though. I've sorted through huge bags containing stained pants, bras, and old net curtains, odd shoes with no heels...you name it. Lots of stuff is great too. There is also a huge amount of BNWT unworn, expensive gear - clearly people around here have more money than sense.


As sofiasofa and Dorothy point out - charity is not a place for unwanted tatt. There are things called bins for that.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
