We are 5 Deaf locals, who you?ve probably seen waving our hands about in the various pubs around East Dulwich. We are running the Virgin London Marathon to raise money for a very worthwhile cause- Scope, a charity for Cerebral Palsy. This charity campaigns tirelessly to create a world where disabled people have the same opportunities to fulfil their life ambitions as non-disabled people, and are committed to creating a better society for everyone.


Being disabled ourselves, we recognise Scope?s efforts in this, and in our small way we are going to compete on an equal footing with tens of thousands of other entrants by taking part in the London Marathon. By finishing this, we hope to fulfil a life-time ambition as well as to raise a significant amount of money for Scope.


We spent all of yesterday shaking buckets at Embankment and managed to raise ?500 from it. Thanks to anyone who donated! Henry's facebook status at the end of the day was - 'I gave a random businessman a piggyback across the bridge to Waterloo. Just so very weird and very wrong. I regret it but at least the money goes to a good cause...' Because of the man's poor lip pattern Henry thought he was asked to carry his bags till he got to the bridge. :D


We would very much appreciate any donations towards our cause, you can donate and read further details at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/London2011


By supporting this event, you will be making a real difference to Scope and the valuable service it offers those who need it most.

All the best of luck for the marathon. I'm running this year to fundraise for Cancer Research Uk/The Bobby Moore Fund but shorter distances (although a total distance of 1.5 marathons) so have a lot of respect for those running a marathon. Hope it goes well and you raise lots of ? for Scope.

    • 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/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
