Very happy to announce that the Goose Green Mutual Aid group has now launched a solidarity fund (see: https://opencollective.com/goose-green-solidarity-fund). The fund provides assistance to Goose Green residents who are struggling financially as a result of COVID-19. This fund can be used for anything, from buying groceries to paying for prescriptions. There is neither judgement nor is there an obligation to pay back the money. This is run in direct accordance with principles of mutual aid - ?from each according to their ability, to each according to their need?.


Please spread the word! x

Hey folks, an update for you:


an update from the Solidarity Fund - over ?1,000 distributed in a month, everyone should be proud. You can take a look at all of our accounts on the website, and contribute towards the continued running of the fund as well:


https://opencollective.com/goose-green-solidarity-fund


This month we've been able to support over 28 separate requests for funds, which goes some way in ameliorating the harsh conditions that are exacerbated by COVID-19, and which existed prior to the virus too. We also understand that the logic of austerity and cuts will mean that people's livelihoods will be further threatened in the future, post-COVID, so we are doing our best to make the fund sustainable for the long haul. If you can forward this to people who you work with or your neighbours, too, we would be greatly appreciative, and if you feel like you could use the fund then you are welcome to make a request.


We are always in need of contributions so anything you can spare will help make a tangible difference to people's lives.

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
