Me thinks big issue is that you can only apply for support on-line


So many that are 'falling between the cracks'


Maybe Nunhead Knocks could organise a one off leaflet drop to all residents.Such a pity that so many are not taking advantage of this offer.

We also need to be aware that 85% of people over 60 do not use the internet or have fancy phones.


'But despite a huge public awareness campaign, less than half these people counted by the council are formally registered with the government?s own shielded list and, of this group, only 46 per cent (or 2,060 residents) are receiving government-sponsored food deliveries.'


If anyone reading this post is aware of a neighbour that could benefit please urge them to contact Southwark Council


Note: It seems you can only apply 'on-line' for emergency support - so if the neighbour is not 'connected' please offer to help if you have a 'device'

      Spay/Neuter Your Cats!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Malumbu, you're absolutely right. The vet bills due to attacks on neighbouring cats are certainly not insignificant at all. The wounds can even lead to fatalities. I always urge clients, neighbours & community posters to target the root cause, as opposed to skirting around the underlying & often persistent issue. Connecting with local organisations like Celia Hammond Animal Trust, Cats Protection or Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives is a longterm solution. This is heighlighted, although briefly, under Improving Community Wellbeing. - I'd also like to highlight that if ever unsure whether the culprit is intact, owned or feral, & are hesitant to report, just in case it's a neighbour's neutered cat, you can call upon a Scan Angel or our team at TWB to check for a microchip first. - If the culprit does happen to be a neighbour's neutered cat, there are a variety of solution; both immediate & longterm that I would be more than happy to help with. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]

      RECOMMENDATION FOR HANDYMAN

      By ak100 · Posted

      Also wanted to leave my recommendation for Lukasz. He came completely on time, was highly efficient, did everything we asked and more without charging extra and left the place immaculate. A real gem - we will definitely use him again!

      Spay/Neuter Your Cats!

      Not sure if you added Tomd that have not been neutered terrorising other cats in the area.  Happened round here.  Would have been tempted to castrate the tom if I'd caught it.  Water pistol was not a deterrent.  Vets bills due to various attacks on other moggies was not insignificant

      New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham - 2024 Edition

      That's good news. I saw that DVillage is also being renovated. Now the pavement in front is wider and flatter with the recent works, they'll have a nice setup indoors and outdoors.
