Beware of 2 young girls knocking doors around Peckham/East Dulwich collecting money for schools in Jamaica and Ghana. They claim to be collecting on behalf of St Martins in the Fields Academy and it seemed like a lovely idea, however, I was suspicious as I thought it was very irresponsible for a school to be putting young girls in this position


Turns out they are conning people and the school were totally unaware of this scam. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY


When I confronted them they ran off but I could see from the signatures on the letter that they had already collected around ?60


School has been notified

Yeah I spoke to someone in the school today and she made it very clear that they were no longer collecting for that charity and hadn't been for a few years. Still it hasn't stopped them using the school name for their little scam, they were even still in their uniforms

I feel sorry for the people who were duped by these incredibly dishonest girls. They've actually called at my house 3 times over the last 2 weeks so have clearly been at this for a while now


It's in the hands of the school now

    • I had this same query the other week - Mediquip no longer cover Southwark and I believe the company when bankrupt? Anyway, after some digging, I found the news on the adult social care page of Southwark Council website.  The new supplier of medical equipment that is issued to Southwark residents via an OT from the council or the NHS is Provide Equipment Hub.  I emailed them about returning two items and they did promptly respond and came and picked up the items the following week.  Email them at [email protected] Importantly, they will come and do urgent repairs of equipment like hospital beds.  I'm surprised that Southwark haven't made this change more widely known as it will impact many vulnerable residents.

    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).
