Lovely idea - my first thought though is that the best thing I think everyone can do is to stay home and wear masks, wash hands, etc. That would be the best way to support NHS workers and bring the biggest relief to them in the most effective manner. Here's a plea from a Dr...

I tend to agree with Otto2 - avoid being in compromising situations.


Without wishing to hijack or derail, passing Off The Cuff at 7ish last night, I was appalled to see a hundred or so people drinking and shouting in groups of more than two. Not for the first time. Ridiculous and irresponsible.

Thank you so much for doing this again. I appreciate the help you are giving Kings on many peoples behalf. I saw an article where Kings have had to cancel/postpone urgent surgeries as a result of the number of COVID cases, so I just can only try to imagine the severe stress they are under! I?ll donate more again shortly, I wish I could do more!

This is a great idea BUT they have a fundraiser going that has raised over ?50k called 'Buy a coffee for Kings' so you might want to focus on other smaller local good causes doing great work?


Albrighton Community Centre

Kingswood Estate

LinkAge (formerly Help the Aged)

Dulwich Helpline

Westminster House Youth Club (based in Nunhead)


All in desperate need of funds right now...


I totally agree the NHS are amazing and should be supported but just wanted to flag there are already fundraisers that have raised huge amounts already for Kings.

Hi

The Kings college fundraiser is such a great idea, thank you for setting it up.

We are in the middle of collecting donations from our suppliers, to donate to the hospital, hopefully our suppliers will help, we have reached out too many of them.

We donated a care package to the hospital back in the 1st Lockdown, however its evident the NHS frontline staff need continuous help and support

.

We can also try and help the Albrighton Community food bank. Are Our space still collecting donations. jellybeans?

Thank you

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
