Looking to hear about experiences from anyone who has hosted a refugee, eg through Refugees At Home https://www.refugeesathome.org/ Was the process straightforward, how long did you host for initially, did you extend the stay, and if it didn't work out what were the issues. Realise everyone's experience will be unique but thanks for any insights.

We signed up with them last year. Fairly painless process, social worker came around to assess us, all passed easily. Now waiting on a referral. Signed up for Ukraine scheme today too.


RaH have lots of examples online to read and the social worker who does the check on your house should give you a realistic assessment. I wouldn't expect it to always be comfortable but on the whole rave reviews and it is a good thing to do.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Angelina · Posted

      Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is?

      We're looking for a second hand / ex display kitchen to install late November / early December. If anyone is renovating / getting a new kitchen in the next month and looking to sell on or get rid of their old units and appliances please do get in touch. Many thanks
