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)*

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
