Hi


It might be worth contacting Aisling - http://www.aisling.org.uk/drupal/?q=node/19


I think Aisling have strong connections with Arlington House (the biggest homeless hostel in Europe) and the London Irish Centre in Camden


I also have a friend working near Victoria for an organisation helping the Irish homeless (can't think of what they are called - have contacted her)


Siobhan (girl who came down for couple of hours on Saturday to hand out flyers)

the organisation my friend works for is The passage - http://www.passage.org.uk/about_us.aspx


this is the message my friend replied to me:


yes i heard about him - its v sad. been keeping an eye out at work, but no-one matching his description has come in at all, nor been seen on the streets. i will forward this link to our outreach team, just in case they come across him while doing their shifts late at night or early morning. hope he gets found soon!

Thank you to all of you have have helped in the search, spread the word and for the many suggestions received on this thread and by PM.

My condolences go out to all the family. My father too went missing and was of a similar age and died almost the same day several years ago, albeit in different circumstances so news of Patrick going missing and then being found dead have resonated with me and the sad news has been difficult to hear and take in as well as him being a neighbour who would exchange a greeting since I moved to the area. Once again my sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to all of his friends and family members. I truly hope he did not suffer unduly and that there was no foul play involved.


RIP Patrick.

So sorry to hear the sad news, but I am glad that you received so many offers of help both practical and emotional.

It is at times like this, one's faith in the general goodness of other people's hearts and actions, is restored.

At an age where money and self gratification is so rife, it is good to know that most people are basically kind and selfless.

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
