I love the ED Forum and wonder if anyone can help me. I am the London group leader of a charity called the Hypermobility Syndrome Association and I would like to be able to run a practical workshop somewhere in central London (room enough for 25) that is disabled accessible. I was wondering if anyone can offer suggestions or low-cost (preferably free) rooms/venues. It would be a workshop where we are looking at kinesio-taping, so needs to be somewhere fairly private for the group. The meeting I require help for would be Saturday 18th May from 2-5pm. If anybody can offer suggestions, I would be so grateful.


With thanks,

Ummm just brainstormimg here but wonder if any church hall /pre school /nursery places might fit the bill ?


Or even a school - aren't the private ones meant to "give back " to the community ?


St Johns Church at Goose Green ?


St James in Elm Grove SE15 -nice and near Peckham Rye Station ( tho not sure of access at station itself and you may find the accommodation in need of a bit of updating .)


Amott Rd Se15 have a hall used in week by pre school .


The church hall in Barry Rd Se22 - think church is St Clements ?


Community hall in Darrell Rd ?

Whilst the Community Centre in Darrell Road is fully wheelchair accessible and has 2 disabled toilets, we are fully booked on Saturdays until 5 pm with a Saturday School on the premises from 2 -5 pm. Christ CHurch Barry Road maybe able to help - it has a ramp from the street, side entrance and disabled loo.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
