Help for Croydon

[Asset]

I have a pile of stuff that I was intending to give to the local charity shops, but in the light of recent events have decided direct action might be more practical.

Does anyone know whether it is a good idea to take the stuff directly to Croydon, and if so, where?

Hi Asset, with the help of Google I found this online... http://londonist.com/2011/08/london-riots-how-you-can-donate-to-the-victims.php where all the places you can donate are listed. Hope it's helpful.

Thank you, we did have a quick scan of Google but could only find north London info

Riotcleanup http://www.riotcleanup.co.uk/donate.php has a list of things that they need in Tottenham, but the only mention of Croydon is the campaign to raise money to help rebuild the Reeves furniture store

You could try asking on the Support Croydon Cleanup Facebook page? http://www.facebook.com/supportcroydon

There is a shop unit on the ground floor of the Whitgift Centre in Croydon that is taking stuff. I think it only opened yesterday and they are taking anything that can help the people being rehoused. They are due to be rehoused on Monday I think they said.

They need all kids of stuff. I brought towels, blankets, toys, clothes, colouring in books, a few toiletries etc and it was all very well received so they must be needing it.

Hope this helps those who are looking for somewhere to donate.

I also noticed things like ironing boards, pots and pans etc, jars of food. They also need buggies.
