Any thoughts on setting up a Cancer Research UK fundraising group?

Hi there,


My name is Fiz and I work with people in the local community who are doing fundraising in aid of Cancer Research UK. I work with lots of different types of people and groups who do things like organise an annual ball, a sponsored dog walk or a put on their own street party. But as far as I know there is no one raising money for Cancer Research UK in this way in Dulwich.


So really I wanted to get your ideas about where I should start with finding these wonderful people who might be keen to start their own fundraising group? Or any ideas you had about why this wouldn?t work in Dulwich or what else I can do?


Although survival rates have doubled in the last thirty years, and we have been at the heart of that progress, it remains a sad fact that every two minutes someone is diagnosed with cancer. So thats why I am putting this shout out to you as we need to keep fundraising, and will not stop our work until we have achieved our aim that together we will beat cancer.


Any ideas, questions, inspiration welcome.


Fiz

    • Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
