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!

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
