Hello,

I am a writer doing some research into grandparents who care full time for their grandchildren. (I want to know what it's like to have to run around after children when you should be enjoying your retirement!) I am also interested in grandparents who might not have committed full time but who dedicate much of their lives helping to bring up their children's children. I am also very interested to hear stories of kinship care. The research is part of the development process for a drama script.

I would be so delighted if I could find a few people to speak to who wouldn?t mind telling me a bit about their lives. I can?t offer payment but can bring cake and coffee? Also, if anyone might know of any kinship care support groups running locally then that would be very helpful.

I am a mother of two as well as a writer and happy to PM CV and credentials should anybody wish to know more.

Many thanks for your help,

Anna

- Which Dulwich - East/West/Village?

  FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised. The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two)
- Sainsburys, Dog Kennel Hill

  Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391 And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose.
- Clean Air Dulwich - who are they?

  It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air. That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either. Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money. I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective. Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.

  ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress, whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
