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

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed. The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...). The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant. https://southlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/london-borough-of-southwark-simba-dulwich-ltd-premises-licence-1.pdf

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job  rather than  voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.

      And still is, and hopefully will continue to be with changed ownership, should that happen.

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Absolutely do not follow the advice to turn on and check the outlet yourself, but the previous part of the post above about contacting the gas authorities. Amongst other things it us illegal for those not trained and certified to interfere with gas supplies. Which you can only check (if it should be live) by breaking the law!
