Based purely on the numbers of people reading and commenting on the Ched Evans thread, there is a high statistical likelihood that some will have been affected by the subjects discussed.


I thought it might be useful to pull out and post here links to organisations that can offer help, in case anyone is interested either in volunteering or finding help:


For men living with violent partners:

http://www.mankind.org.uk/

http://www.mensadviceline.org.uk/mens_advice.php.html


For men who are newly single parents, and particularly with access to children issues:

http://www.onlydads.org/


For women living with violent partners:

http://www.womensaid.org.uk/ (they also help children)

http://www.hestia.org/ (London based charity)


For newly single women with children, including who have issues with partners:

http://www.onlymums.org/


For victims of rape:

http://www.rasasc.org.uk/ (have a south London helpline)

http://www.rapecrisis.org.uk/


(It's worth noting that if you go to a rape crisis centre, many will ask you to go into the room with your adviser alone. This is very hard for some people to do, so you need to mentally prepare for it. It is done so that your adviser can be sure that you are not being watched or coerced while you get support. You can have a friend/family member on the phone with you right up to the point when you go in if that helps. Not every centre does this, but many do.)

    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.  
    • It wouldn't surprise me at all.   The council used to spray the pavements all the time b4 lockdown.  They are probably doing it again.
