My 2 year niece Dillan is doing her bit to raise money to support Dulwich stables. Have posted this elsewhere on the Forum but the lovely EDF community have suggested I also move it here. Please take a look and support if you can. Dillan doesn't understand that she's just hit 3K, she just knows she loves Rocky!


Thanks everyone.

Myself and my other half have donated and shared with our neighbours.

Its a Wonderful idea as We are so lucky to have the Stables in our community-and I for one get great pleasure from walking past and seeing the ponies looking out of their stalls.

Good luck Dillan and Rocky and if I'm not in work that day I will be there cheering them along.

Just adorable!

@Chick - hoping you took it up with them?


@ thread: BUT my son was going there before lockdown as was his friend and the staff and trainers have always been really lovely to him/us.

I'll definitely be supporting your fundraiser! Go Dillan!

Ahh, thanks HPSaucy, that's really very kind. Yes, the stables have always been lovely to Dillan, and to her mum before that, neither of whom would ever have otherwise had the chance to be around horses. Always sorry to hear if someone had a bad experience, but that would definitely be an exception!

Oh wow! BBC Radio London are covering Dillan & Rocky's fundraiser on Wed morning. So excited! Thank you everyone for all your support. There's still a way to go to their target, but we know they'll get there. Dillan just needs to stop nicking all the carrots!!😄

This picture made my day!

I really really pray that you reach your target-As a 60 year old who grew up in the inner city I cant stress enough how wonderful it is for the local children (and adults..I'd love to learn to ride..never too late they say!)to have access to a Stables and actually for horse loving teens to have the chance to help with the mucking out and experience being around horses..something as a horse crazy 15 year year old I would have loved to be able to do.

I had to go to work today so wasn't able to attend and wave a carrot in support

I saw that Dillan has raised over 3.8k!

Brilliant !

Looking forward to seeing photos.

Cutest thing! It was utterly freezing yesterday so I raise my hat to them both.

Well done!

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
