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)*

  My experience with phone shops is that they hand the phone to you to key in passwords etc.

  Please consider any security issues associated with someone helping. Does the person have good intentions? Do they know what they are doing? Will they require your passwords or screen unlock. Will they set them for you and consequently know them? Will they store them for you? Are you sharing passwords you cannot change immediately after or are used in other places? Will they recommend apps that potentially open up security or privacy issues you do not know about. It is a bit of a minefield depending on what help you need 🙂

  I think it's outrageous that he thinks he can do this. This is about reducing waiting lists. How dare he seek to fundamentally change the judicial system to address administrative failings (for which he is responsible). Courts are notoriously slow. Judges are slow. Perhaps look at WHY there are so many cases - what's going on? is crime going through the roof? Why not more judges, why not look at how court admin is managed? We had one judge - over retirement age, who only worked once a week (possibly) and was slow, frail and no idea about emails etc. no sense of urgency. I actually complained which did hurry things up. This is not a dynamic private company who wants to get things done - it takes time, it's a complicated and thorough process. RIGHTLY SO. As least he's not lifting the lid on free legal aid and increasing the tax payers funding of it.
