My doorbell rang a little while ago and I asked who it was. A male voice said ?The Children?s Deaf Society?. I said no thanks and he left. I did not see what he looked like. Making doorstep calls for a charity in these times seems very peculiar and I felt it was a way of seeing if anyone was in. Anyone else had this?

The Children's Deaf Society do do Door to Door visits.

A National Deaf Children?s Society fundraiser can be identified by:


Their identification badge, which has their name and ID number on it.

The tablet computer or clipboard they are holding so they can take down your details.

Our fundraisers ask for a regular monthly commitment in the form of a direct debit. To do this, they will ask you for address details and your bank account details. We do not fundraise for one-off contributions in our face-to face fundraising, but if you would prefer to provide a one-off contribution, then you can make one.

Important to assure any visitor is a genuine fund raiser.

This afternoon someone knocked my door, I sent my LO to ask who it was.

He asked without opening the door of course & the guy said he was from green peace.

My son said sorry my mums not here

The guy sounded baffled (possibly because of my sons young sounding voice)

But I definitely didn't hear him knock on my neighbours' door which was what baffled me!

Sometimes they go in pairs and knock on alternate doors so you won't necessarily hear the one leaving you knocking on your neighbours door.


We had them too yesterday and the phone calls have started for donations - it must be a very difficult time for charities.

    • We have found 3 stag beetles in the old tree stump, and single nesting bees in the grass, so we're still not mowing it. I have taken the seeds head off the dart grass and trimmed the dead bluebells and it's alright.  
    • Back garden mowed on Monday, some of it for the first time this year.  Not a lot of interest in this grassland, but hoping for the promised rain this week as it needs it.  We use no tap water in the garden apart from conditioner tap water for the pond when rainwater storage runs out, very early this year. Purple clover, buttercups, rattle and ox eye daisies looking great in the front.  Seeds sown did not germinate due to lack of spring rain.  The meadow will be cut by hand when flowers die back, white clover will be out shortly and cutting the rest back may encourage the purple clover to flower again.  Loads of bees  Fun time is when the grasshoppers appear.  
    • Just found a link for LB Southwark wildlife and ecology. Suggest all those listing in disgust to read some of this.  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/culture-and-sport/parks-and-open-spaces/ecology-and-wildlife
    • Don’t they do it every year?
