"Being a befriender is really lovely. Nothing else in my week matches it!"

Volunteering for Link Age Southwark brings many rewards. From visiting someone who is really keen to have a friendly chat once a week, driving someone to our groups, helping with light DIY and gardening to assisting at our activity groups. Giving some of your time could make a big difference to the life of our older friends and neighbours. Helping in your community and making you feel better in yourself are just some of the rewards you could experience as a volunteer. Learn more by visiting: www.linkagesouthwark.org/volunteering or call 020 8299 2623. We would be delighted to discuss our volunteering opportunities with you.

  Is it possible for someone to change the heading, because it is not clear that this "fatality" has not just happened. I'm not sure that the OP still posts on here. Admin?

  A couple of updates to this terrible event: 1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/ 2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/

  The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess: https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/. In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.

  She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
