KINDNESS CHALLENGE - DULWICH/LONDON UNTIL END OF JULY 2019


Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Don, East Dulwich pretty much born and bred. To celebrate the launch of my community kindness platform Do Me A Favour Buddy (DMAFB) www.dmafb.me We are challenging people to offer or request acts of kindness in their community in exchange for a chance to win a MacBook Pro for yourself and a FairPhone 2 for one of your friends.


The platform was inspired by a stranger doing a favour for me when I was facing homeless that helped me to find somewhere to live. I wanted to do something to give back, using the mantra "I help you, you help me, everybody happy" - especially to a community that made me who I am. I hope it will be an antidote to the current polarised and politicised times where it seems we are being pitted against each other...Rant over


To enter the challenge:

Step - 1 sign up for free at www.dmafb.me,

Step - 2 post an offer or a request for kindness (e.g. I can walk your dog/I need to borrow a ladder/I want to donate baby clothes/anything really)

Step - 3 refer your friends and family so they also have a chance to win. Every friend you invite that posts a favour earns you an extra 50 entries for you towards a MacBook Pro and they will automatically receive 5 entries towards a Fairphone 2 Android phone for themselves. The more friends that enter the better the chances are to win.


I hope you forgive me for the shameless plug. I get it will not be for everyone (and it is in no way competition to the community spirit we have here on EDF), so I totally respect that. On the flipside, if you believe as I do that kindness can achieve much, please tell your friends, reach out to me and help us grow this movement. Have a great day - Don

    • I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).
    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
    • I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
