Starts Tues 29 Nov! Link Age Southwark’s ‘double your donation’ Big Give Christmas Challenge


Recommended Posts

Local charity Link Age Southwark is aiming to raise £10,000 in just one week to support their work providing vital transport services to older people, people living with dementia and their carers by taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2022.


If Link Age Southwark can raise their target of £10,000 in online donations from midday on Tuesday (29 November) to midday on 6 December, this money will be doubled thanks to a Big Give Christmas Challenge ‘pledge pot’ of £10,000. So your donation will have twice the impact! Here’s how you can help:


● Visit Link Age Southwark’s Big Give Christmas Challenge campaign web page via http://www.linkagesouthwark.org to make a donation from midday on Tuesday 29 November. The campaign will close at midday on Tuesday 6 December.


● If you are unable to donate at this time, you can support Link Age Southwark’s Big Give Christmas Challenge by telling your friends, family and colleagues or sharing details on social media. The charity will be posting about the campaign on Twitter (@LASwark), Instagram (@linkagesouthwark) and Facebook: www.facebook.com/linkagesouthwark/


Link Age Southwark’s volunteer drivers, escorted taxis for those living with dementia and their carers and the use of an accessible minibus for larger events help over 250 local people leave their homes to attend a warm and safe space for social, exercise and activity groups organised by the charity.


As the difficult financial situation and wintry weather now bite, these journeys will become even more important. Link Age Southwark relies on donations to make them happen, as well as the other services they provide free of charge.


Thank you from everyone at Link Age Southwark. www.linkagesouthwark.org

Just one more day to donate and get it matchfunded! So if you donate a tenner with Gift Aid, the charity gets over £22.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
