Hi everyone


My friend is currently in Cambodia doing volunteer work for a kids residential centre. She is the only Occupational Therapist there and desperately needs funds to help make the place better, the kids have holes in clothes, no shoes, no toothbrushes etc etc - I am going to do an appeal over here with all my friends and work colleagues etc, but I need some way to get the money donated across to her.


I looked at JustGiving and it looks like only registered charities can do it (they're not one), and something called Yimby but it all takes a cut of the money, plus with Yimby you only get 30 days to raise the funds. Does anyone have any ideas (other than me literally giving out her account details and people transferring cash to her - which understandably I don't think people would be too happy with), that we could try? I am probably being dim and overlooking something very simple!!


Thanks

      The Mansion Tax

      I would challenge that. Price is a function of supply and demand - that's what I learnt at school anyway. It doesn't matter what your costs are, if supply increases and demand remains constant, prices (rents) will fall. And vice versa

      Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people…  not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go…   Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax  or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….

      Buying loft from Southwark Council

      By milka234 · Posted

      Hello! I’m considering buying the demise for the loft-space above my flat (facing the classic renovate or move scenario for an additional bedroom or 2). Has anyone had recent experience of buying the demise from Southwark? Interested to know how they’re handling the premium/valuation.  thanks!
