With the possibility of losing this forum are there other useful places to dispose of unwanted stuff? I've used freecycle in the past, and from time to time buy and sell on ebay, or get rid of stuff through car boot sales, St Christophers Hospice shops and the like. But the market place here has been very useful and got, or sent to a good home an eclectic mix of household things. My favourite free acquisitions were tadpoles, and top soil.


Ideally hope someone takes it over and keeps much of it going. But are there other local forums out there worth looking at. SE23 and Sydenham don't appear to have the same footfall, for all their uses.

Testimony is that many I have traded with are outside of East Dulwich, showing its wide appeal. Occasional down side is that some are just looking to resell at profit but I've sussed that out! I'd rather give free to a good home than someone make a quick buck


Wont touch Gumtree with a barge poll as it is where stolen goods are often sold, including a bike of mine. Much more faith in ebay, even if it owns Gumtree, as there is a vetting process.


Not sure of Facebook, but family has used it to sell unwanted clothing.

    • 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.
