I will be outside Sainsbury's collecting donations of new & used clothes & new underwear for women & children & toys tomorrow afternoon from 3 o'clock until 7 or when I get thrown out!!

I am taking a large van down to Greece over the Christmas holidays as I feel the Greek people are doing all they can at a very difficult time for them & like so many I am appalled at the war & violence in Syria & felt I had to do something. All your contributions will be gratefully received in the camps down there at this time. I am working with The Norwegian charity 'A drop in the ocean' if you cannot make tomorrow, please make a donation to this charity. It too will be put to good use. Alternatively, someone will be at my home to take in any donations you may have

Address

A great BIG thank you to all of you who turned up with your wonderful donations. They really will be appreciated

I still have more room in the van, so remember, I will be back at Sainsbury's Dog Kennel Hill on Saturday from 9 am til 12:30. Thank you again

Another BIG thank you to all of you who turned out on Christmas Eve to bring so many toys & clothes to help those in need at this time. I did get thrown out in the end, due to corporate policy!! But not before the kindness of the people of Dulwich had shown itself to be far more compassionate than a large corporation could ever understand. Thank you, my faith in good people continues. But not in Sainsbury's!!

Due to problems with booking the ferry, I will be going next week, so I still have time to take in more donations of toys & clothes, as I still have a little space left in the van.

I can only take collections at my home

9 Sunderland Court

At the south circular end of Lordship Lane just before the shops on the left hand side

Thank you

Warm clothes would be most welcome, for men women & children. They have snow down there just now & things are getting tough for all of them.

I will be leaving early Tuesday morning to drive down, so please feel free to call/text to drop off any donations this Sunday or Monday.

Thank you everyone for your kindness & generosity. It will be most welcome. I shall blog my journey on The Big Calm Kefalonia Facebook

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
