Seeking charity work


CatJennings

Recommended Posts

We just moved to Herne Hill (off of Half Moon Lane) and I'm looking to find some charitable weekend activities for my girls (4 years old / 9 years old) and I in the neighbourhood. (e.g. care home help, working in a soup kitchen, tending to homeless animals, etc.) Any recommendations gratefully received!

Hi Cat


Try Dulwich Helpline, they are based in the old Dulwich Hospital and they help older people.


Dulwich Helpline and Southwark Churches Care

Overview

Both Dulwich Helpline and Southwark Churches Care were founded in 1993 to help older (60+) residents living in two adjoining areas in Southwark to continue to participate in their communities, even when they found getting out increasingly difficult. In 2012 the two charities amalgamated and decided to expand their area of operation to most areas in Southwark in order to offer sustainable services to isolated older residents.


DH&SCC works to improve the quality of life and the physical and mental health of isolated older residents in Southwark. Including dementia.


by recruiting and supporting volunteers to befriend them and provide emotional and practical support, and

by organising community and group activities for them

They combat loneliness and we enable older people to live in their own homes for as long as possible.


Becoming a DH&SCC service-user is free of charge. To benefit from any of their services you must be 60 or over and reside in Southwark.

    • tried the traditional beef empanada yesterday and it was amazing honestly, hotter and better than the other place (no offence!). I really don’t see the issue with having more than one of the same type of shop – we’ve got Indian restaurants, two supermarkets, two cheese shops, two pizza joints, even two paint shops! So I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Good food is good food, and there’s room for everyone.
    • I understand you access ancestry from any Southwark library computer. Or see the real post office directories in archive. 
    • 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/
