Hi everyone. We're very excited to announce that Little Village Southwark's crowdfunder is now LIVE! Even more amazing is that in only a few days, we hit our first target and we're now working towards our stretch target. We've assembled a brilliant array of prizes, gifted by local businesses showing their support for Little Village as we get off the ground in SE15. Please follow the link and pledge whatever you can to help us launch.

There's no question that Little Village could play a vital role in Southwark, where 8,000 children under the age of 5 live in poverty - that's 1 in 3 kids. We might be not able to change everything, but our service could provide a real lifeline to families who are raising children in very challenging circumstances.


Please make a pledge and show your solidarity with other parents in the Little Village community - let's do this!👍💜

This is a crowdfunding page with lots of heart warming pictures and anecdotes.


I can't find any link to Little Village Southwark or to any Little Village community anywhere else on the web.


Wikipaedia identifies Little Village as a rock band.


Before you ask people for money I think you should provide some ID for your cause and some sort of track record.

This seems to describe what they do:-


Little Village provides good quality baby clothes and equipment, donated by local families, to local families who need this kit. We promote sustainable living, and make it easy for local families to help one another in a respectful, non-judgemental, non-patronising way. We came together as a group of local parents, and we now run it as an entirely voluntary enterprise.


They seem SW17 / Camden (?) based. The Southwark bit may be an offshoot I suppose.


They work out of churches (or seem to).

Hi. Little Village is a registered charity - number 1169735. There is plenty of information on what Little Village does on our website, which is https://littlevillagehq.org/. Little Village has sites in Wandsworth and Camden, and we're launching a third site in Southwark. All 3 sites are part of the Little Village network.


Little Village Wandsworth holds drop in sessions in a church hall, but we're not based out of churches and we're not affiliated with any religious group. Little Village Southwark will be based at the Ivy House in SE15 (of which I am one of the founders) and we have also secured extra storage behind the Ivy House.


We want to make it as easy as possible for local families to support each other in a social and sustainable way. Little Village is a wonderful charity and will make a great contribution to our community. We'll be working with a network of referral partners (midwives, health visitors, social services, Southwark Foodbank) to ensure we reach the families who need us most.


Our crowdfunder page has plenty of information on who we are and what we're doing, in addition to the photographs, including why we have decided to set up in Southwark, so we aren't simply asking people for money. This is a crowdfunder for a great local cause, like many others.


If you don't want to pledge then that is fine, but we are totally legitimate and if you have any concerns then just message me and I would be happy to discuss our work further. We have received lots of support locally and already reached our initial crowdfunding target.

    • I had a breech birth baby in 1984 in faraday ward. I had a male midwife deliver my baby. Does anyone remember him? 
    • As with Brexit, everyone who votes for Reform isn't a racist, but I'm confident in saying that the vast majority of racists will vote for Reform, like they did with Brexit. So, anyone who considers themselves as non-racist but is considering or will vote for Reform, needs to ask themselves why is that the case? Why do you never hear Reform promoting equality/anti-racism? Instead, Farage is now copying Trump with anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) rhetoric. It can't be any clearer where Reform stands when it comes to such issues...        
    • It was lucky nobody was on the bridge beneath the tree when it fell. It's hard to see, but it doesn't look like a whole tree, but a branch? Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? What seems to be the point where the branch (?) joined the tree - or else the point where the whole tree broke off - (on the bottom left of the picture) looks like quite a clean break. It couldn't have been deliberate, could it? Or has someone trimmed it after it fell? It's hard to see how this could have happened accidentally. It has been a bit windy, but surely not enough to cause this. Shouldn't there have been a risk assessment when the bridge was built, to include assessing the risk of nearby trees falling?
    • Hi, we have been looking for a reliable and efficient electrician for sometime now. We are not keen on hourly rates, Leon provides fair job prices. We just had some electrical work done for us by Leon. He arrived and just got it done quickly. Leon has a positive can do attitude which is a real pleasure to have around our house. This is the second time we have used Leon and we will be getting him back again.    Thank you cat woman for recommending Leon here.    His number is 07707 925039
