Dear friends


I am seeking to locate a suitable space to initiate some FREE Latin dance opportunities. 'Pop-up Latin Dance Experience' I am doing this on behalf of a friend and recent Colombian immigrant Yamile Herera who I have known for a couple of years as a talented multi-professional teacher and dance school owner. She has danced professionally, owned a successful dance school and has taught many Latin dance disciplines including all forms of salsa, tango and lesser known forms such as porro and pasa doble. Yamile married a UK mental health professional and is six months into the adventure of her new life here in London, currently living with her husband and daughter in Gypsy Hill.


I am a retired senior Education officer from Croydon Local Authority and in retirement I have developed an interest and love of Latin culture, traveled widely in South America and I have worked voluntarily helping establish micro businesses. I am not seeking profit, just following my interest one of which is Yamile's project to share her expertise and eventually re commence her business interest here in the UK.


We have identified an intermediate stage - the aims to


test levels of interest in the area of West Norwood;

offer Yamile and opportunity to develop her capacity to teach dance in her second language, English; and

develop a relationship with a local excellent venue


I very much hope to hear from you and that we could be working with you in the near future. We recognize that there may be costs involved for yourselves and would want to contribute to your funds


Yours sincerely


Alan Malarkey

    • 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. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
