Hi, have you considered this? Just a thought, if you have the time.

The Marks and Spencer (M&S) website scheme, through its partnership with Oxfam, allows you to donate pre-owned school uniforms at select M&S stores like the one in Lewisham, but the program is currently seasonal. You can drop them in the designated "Shwop" boxes, usually found in the kidswear section, to be resold or recycled. 
 
  • How it works: 
    Customers can place any brand of good-quality, clean school uniform into the "Shwop" boxes. 
     
  • Reward: 
    Donating earns Sparks customers a 20% off voucher for selected kidswear via the QR code on the box. 
     
  • Where donated items go: 
    The uniforms are then resold in select Oxfam shops or on the dedicated pre-loved school uniform shop on eBay.co.uk. 
     
  • What if it's not suitable for resale: 
    Uniforms that cannot be resold are recycled or reused where possible. 
     
  • Availability: 
    The "Shwop" boxes are usually set up for the back-to-school season. It is best to check with the Lewisham store or the M&S website to confirm if the service is currently active at that location.

    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
    • Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.   
    • There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.
    • I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
