This is an initiative set up by the 22 year old niece of a friend of mine who has been working for UNHCR in the Lebanon refugee camps where the children there have nothing and have and are facing bitterly cold conditions with no proper clothes, let alone toys and educational tools.


I thought I would link to her newly established Facebook page as even if you can't donate cash, I know there are many on EDF, myself included, who have been looking to find a way of passing on unwanted baby clothes and toys etc to a good home.

Please have a look (and apologies but despite being vaguely technologically proficient I dont seem to be able to make the link 'live')

Thank you Sanity girl and Pripolla! I think she is getting a really good response and she will be taking all the donations out soon (and if anyone has old suitcases etc to help transport the items that would be welcome too)... The photos of the first deliveries are moving and uplifting

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
