Hi there,


I wonder if anyone might have any good ideas of places that I could donate some baby and kids items? Some of it is in excellent condition and some more used, but still with plenty of life left in it. A mixture of clothes, toys and other practical items.


I'm really struggling to find somewhere (probably due to the time of year I'm sure. I've tried women's refuges I can find and my local community centre.


Does anybody know of any refugee collections or similar happening at the moment? I really don't want to throw it away as it's nice stuff, but I need to get it out of my very small flat!


Any ideas gratefully received.


Many thanks

You could contact Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) [www.sdcas.org.uk]. They have a lot of mums with young children at their centres. The main office is at the Copleston Centre [tel: 020 7732 0505 (staffed Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays) or e-mail: [email protected]].


They are a super charity.

      Pre-school recommendations half days only

      By AnnaQuig · Posted

      Hi,  I will be moving to Herne Hill (Elfindale Road) and am looking for recommendations for a nursery or preschool that offers morning sessions only for a three year old. Any help would be great!

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      The assault isn't alleged.   But chances are, if you see a bunch of lanky under 18s, with tracksuits on, faces hidden by masks, lobbing missiles off the roof of the cafe in the park, it's probably the same lot. I'm pretty sure most of them were white, so there was no omission on that front, but I thank you for your generosity in thinking that my bourgeois over-sensitivity would compel me to protect the little scumbags from hurt feelz. However, if I did provide a detailed description here and if you then thought you'd seen a similar-sounding lot hanging around nearby, I'm not sure how this information would be remotely useful to you. Unless you were planning to confront them and ask them if they were on Peckham Rye last week and then give them a right telling off?  So it was a strange post.

      As it turned out after my post, the police have photos. And even if they didn't, the OP reported the incident to the police, who would have asked for a description.  However there are all sorts of problems with eye witness descriptions, which would just be multiplied with several kids involved. I stand by my post. Are you suggesting a full description of these kids should be posted on here so that ... what?  Vigilante action by forum members? And if there was mistaken identity? Then what? Even if there wasn't, there could be all sorts of background issues relating to this sort of anti social behaviour. It should be left to the police to find and  appropriately deal with  the perpetrators of criminal behaviour. The police are far from perfect, but the alternative just makes a general slide into lawlessness more likely.
