Help needed to collect and/or plumb washer dryer in (ED to Streatham - family in need)

Recommended Posts

This is for an asylum seeker family so a very worthy cause - if someone could do this cheaply / at cost of petrol it would be AMAZING.


Let's get into the Christmas spirit people!


The washer dryer will need collecting from my house in East Dulwich and delivering to a flat in Streatham that has been allocated for this family. The flat is up some stairs so will need a strong person to help deliver (someone strong apparently available to help the other end).


If a plumber is reading this who has a van that would be ideal!


THANKS in advance

Jelly, try Spin Doctor, he's on here. Lovely guy. If he can do it, I will pay him?

Thank you for posting this Jellybeanz. Just to add:


The family are evacuated Afghans and have been granted 6 months Leave to Remain which they hope to extend.

They are now receiving some Universal Credit while the healthiest adult seeks work. Having a washing machine for a family of six would save them a lot of money.

I hope to transport it in my car and hope two members of the family are strong enough to carry it up two flights of steps, however, a really strong person who could help us, in Streatham, would help as the healthiest adult is not in full health.

Spin Doctor have very kindly offered to help me plumb it in over the phone - but that will be a first for me and it is a washer drier. So if a plumber can come to Streatham - Moyser Road SW16, tomorrow, that would be amazing.

Planning to install it Saturday pm at a time that suits all - 4pm ?

Thank you for reading/considering.

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
