Dear all


I am collecting on behalf of pupils at a Secondary School in Peckham and we would like please:

  • Warm stylish coats in good condition (zips etc intact, and no rips/ tears please) in black or navy blue - e.g. puffer jackets etc for ages 11 up to 18 (to cater for taller/ larger 16-17 year-olds)

    Prom outfits for Year 11s - dresses and suits

These will be distributed via the school to pupils who are receiving free school meals and/or who are refugees.


I can come and pick these up within the local area (Dulwich, Forest Hill etc) - if I have enough responses I will try and combine journeys. We'd like to get these out before next Friday when term ends so I will be picking up initially hopefully from this weekend/ during the next week if possible.


So if you are having a clearout and/or your children have grown out of their good quality coats and/or you have outfits going spare that would be suitable for Prom please DM me.


Thanks in advance

Nicole.

Hi Nicole

Have a look at the East Dulwich Free School Uniform page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085388803715

I don’t think there are any coats at the moment but there is general school uniform; anything that doesn’t say ‘gone’ is still available.

Thanks for this, and apologies for the delay in replying.


We are ok for uniform - it's coats and Year 11 Prom outfits we are looking for. I will keep an eye out on that Facebook page (and thank you for signposting) but was hoping people who might be thinking of having a clearout would want to donate any unwanted outfits and coats to this good cause - without the hassle of taking to a charity shop/ posting on Freecycle/ Facebook etc. Will have to have a rethink about how best to approach this - any more suggestions (and donations!) welcome.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • 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...
