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".

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
