Hello everyone,

I work for a local charity called 'Dulwich Helpline & Southwark Churches Care'. We work to improve the quality of life and the physical and mental health of isolated older residents (aged 60+) in central and south Southwark by providing volunteer befrienders and organising local group activities.

If you have an hour or two to spare each week, especially Monday-Friday daytimes, can commit for a minimum of 6 months, and are interested in helping isolated older people please e-mail us on [email protected], phone us 020 8299 2623 or see our website to download an application form http://www.dhscc.org/volunteering.htm

*Our offices are based at Dulwich Community Hospital, East Dulwich Grove, London SE22 8PT. However, our volunteer opportunities are in the community in central and south Southwark (Dulwich, Sydenham, Herne Hill, Peckham, Nunhead, Camberwell and Walworth)*

  I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

  I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

  @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day” Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

  If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
