Hurry up! Clothes, toys needed for Syrian & north African refugees trapped in Greece.

I am travelling down to Greece over the Christmas holidays & want to fill my van with clothes & toys for the refugees that are trapped in Greece. They cannot go home & they are not allowed to leave Greece. Having a small holistic centre in Greece, I am very aware of the kindness & generosity of the Greek people during very austere times for them & want to do what I can to help.

I have not been able to find a collection point for contributions, but I will be in Sainsbury's car park on Thursday afternoon & Saturday morning with my blue Exterior Designs van until I get thrown out!! And if you can, I will make sure someone is at my home to receive any contributions.

The things needed are: warm clothes, new underwear for women & children. Clean serviceable toys & soft toys, unwanted musical instruments Non perishable foods. If you would rather make a monetary contribution, I am working with a Norwegian charity called A drop in the ocean. Their website www. drapenihavet. no/en/home/.)

Thank you in advance, please get in contact if you have any questions

Please pass this on to anyone you know who would like to help & bump this message up!! Thanks

I will be outside the large Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill tomorrow Thursday afternoon from 3 pm onwards to collect any new or used clothes & toys. I can't tell you how welcome your generous gifts will be welcome in the refugee camps where I will be visiting. You can't miss my van with its flashing Christmas lights!!! 😁😁😁

And thank you in advance

Thank you to all of you that turned up with your generous contributions. I still have space in the van, ( I told you it was big!!) so, I will be there again on Saturday morning between 9:00 & 12:30

Thanks again, you are amazing

Thank you to all of you who brought clothes & toys & other items to help the refugees. I did get thrown out in the end due to corporate policy!!! It's a crazy world when multi million pound corporations can't give a little time & space to some of the other causes they are not supporting at this time of year. My faith in the good people of Dulwich & beyond remains, my faith in large corporations does not!!

But thank you again for your kindness, it was a joy to see you & talk to you

Due to travel arrangement problems with the ferry company, I won't be going until next week, so if anyone has any more clothes & toys to donate, I can still take them in at my home address as there is still a bit more room in the van & I really want to take as much as I can.

    • Received this response from TFL today (15 October)   Thank you for contacting us on 1 October regarding the ongoing diversion of the P13 bus route between Rye Lane and Sainsbury’s, Dog Kennel Hill, since 29 September. You’re absolutely right that the diversion is due to Thames Water works in the area. While other traffic may appear to be flowing freely along Avondale Rise into Ivanhoe Road, our local Service Delivery Manager has confirmed that buses are unable to safely make the turn from Avondale Rise into Ivanhoe Road in either direction. This is due to the size and turning radius of the vehicles, which differs significantly from that of smaller vehicles. We understand that diversions can be inconvenient and appreciate your patience while this work is ongoing. We’re continuing to monitor the situation closely and will restore the usual route as soon as it is safe and operationally feasible to do so. Thanks again for contacting us. If there is anything else we can help you with, please reply to this email. Alternatively, you can call us on 0343 222 1234 and we'll be happy to help you.
    • If anyone is looking for a tree surgeon, I recommend Hamish and Cut Above Tree Management. He was very helpful and personable, quick to respond and did an excellent job of removing a wonky tree in my garden with a minimum of hassle. A fantastic service!
