Collecting clothes & toys for Syrian refugees trapped in Greece

[Gardenman]

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

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

What would be the most useful things to donate? In terms of what you already have, I mean?

[Gardenman]

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
