i have sent numerous threads pleading (lol) for items to be donated to charity. They will be going to the people that have been made homeless because of the croydon riots. They are in desperate needs of household items, pot, pans, plates, books, toys, toiletries, nappies etc. Please people only one person has responded and maybe im asking too much but i really thought people would show more community spirit as we were all affected by what happened and speechless when peoples homes were burnt down. Please have a look around, have a declutter, all the stuff you no longer use. We are holding a donation day tomorrow 17th august 2011 between 4-6pm and we are asking people to please bring unwanted items to 15 or 22 fermor rd, forest hill se23 off stanstead rd, light refreshments given for your generousity. If you have no transport i will try and arrange for someone to collect if local. thank you for reading and hopefully responding.

nikkinuts, I'm unconvinced that people on the forum aren't showing community spirit, if you look around the site you'll see that people have already asked what they can do and where they can donate (and to be honest, I'm not sure telling people they have no community spirit is going to help win anyone round).


It might help your cause if you explain a bit about who you are and what you're planning to do with the donations. I don't mean to be sceptical, but as it stands, you're just asking people to come and leave their belongings in the garden of a mystery "very kind lady".

    • A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...
    • The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.  
    • The organisers must have spent a fortune on the display..imagine how p**s*d off they must have been!!!! Blink and you missed it kind of thing
    • We also recommend Aaron.  Very reliable, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our hallway and bedroom ceiling.  A pleasure to work with and left the house very tidy at the end of the job.  Thank you
