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.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
