Hi all - we signed up to the UK Gov 'Homes for Ukraine Scheme', and have matched with a mother and her 4-year-old son. Forms submitted, and we are 99% sure that it will happen, perhaps in ~3 weeks from now. We live on Avondale Rise just off Bellenden Rd. We are keen to know others who are bringing in Ukrainian guests, especially those with kids.


- Might be helpful to share experiences in getting things set up, and discussing interactions with Southwark council. Visas / travel / home inspections / helping to find employment / joining schools etc.

- And once our guests arrive, I think they may like to meet people who have been through a similar experience.


Are there others in the area who are hosting? If you pm me with phone number - I can setup a WhatsApp group

Hi Joel/Elsa,

We have a 19 year old girl who is living with us. She is settling in very well and has just got a job in a nursury which is great. My concern is that she is quite lonely and she would like to meet other ukranians and make some friends. Do you know if there is a group for people looking to meet each other in London? Thanks! Claudia

There's a been a social night for Ukrainians being hosted by the White Eagle Polish Club in Tooting - would be worth following the clubs Facebook profile.


Also, they have a "boutique" to outfit newly-arrived people with clothes etc.

Hi Claudia. Yes, there are a few things going on nearby, as well as across London. Send me a private message with your phone number and I can add you to a WhatsApp group with 4-5 others in Peckham / Dulwich who are hosting. Our guests are a 40yo and 4yo, so probably not what your 19yo is looking for, but I think two others in the WhatsApp group have guests who are a similar age to your guest.

I have been told that the Dulwich Foundation Schools are organising Ukrainian coffee mornings in Dulwich on a weekly basis. Sign up below. Obviously attendees don't need to have an existing connection with Dulwich or the schools! Link below

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about.
