Hi All


I was hoping to get some advice/ tips from the forum on a good charity for the holidays. My partner and I have remained employed throughout covid and realise the financial privilege that comes with that in these tough times

Particularly over the holiday periods I know there are families out there who are already worried about how they will be able to provide to their families let alone the added pressures of holiday gift giving


Back in my home country I know there were charities where you could be matched with a family in need- learn about the kids interests/ preferred gifts and effectively help the parents sort out Christmas. I?m sure this exists here but can?t find it. Any recommendations?

Not quite what you describe but the Albrighton is a local food charity that is doing amazing stuff in our area and is available to anyone in need. My husband volunteers for them and it?s pretty humbling. They?re almost there on a fundraising appeal to cover the Christmas period which will include some children?s presents as I understand it.

The Met Police run an appeal in association with the Childhood Trust that provides gifts to children in care / living in poverty etc.

Health warning- the gifts this year seem just a BIT boy / girl stereotypical...

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By Ryeman · Posted

      I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional.

      Tessa Jowell centre car park.

      It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients.

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By Katherty · Posted

      Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.

      Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
