This free, two-hour session (you don't have to stay for the whole lot) is in Camberwell Leisure Centre in Artichoke Place SE5 8TS 6.30-8.30pm. It's a drop-in, not a course, if you come for one you don't have to come to any more (though we hope you would want to.

It's run by Southwark Cyclist Bruno, and his mate Thom with professional support from Charlie. What they teach depends on what you bring. They help you fix what's broken and tell how and why you are doing it. They carry small parts like cables but not not bigger ones like wheels. So if you know you need new tyres or brake blocks then bring them with you.

Southwark Cyclists is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer cycling throughout London. We campaign for safer cycling in Southwark. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk. You can contact us on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle or text me at 07842 640 207 and see if I can help. Like everything we do these sessions are free and open to all. Everyone welcome. Just turn up.

- Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?
  
  By JMK · Posted 6 hours ago
  
  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.

  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.
