I just donated a few items to the Barry Centre at the church top of Barry road. The lady said refugees are arriving there sometimes without any shoes on, they have run away from

Syria. Please donate clean, reasonable quality items for adults, babies and children, including toys, toiletries, clothes etc.

Thank you

??? really? ? ?


there are numerous collection points which distribute the items collected - and shoes is a vital part - but I would be a bit surprised if people had got through all these places and arrived in Barry Road wihout any shoes.


Beggars the question, where are they eating/ sleeping and why are they not getting structured support?


all of which is available.

what does it matter, why they haven't got it so far... all the more reason they need it now.


thanks for the heads up whiskers, will see what we have, id imagine with the colder weather they could do with more warm clothes.

I personally feel although this is placed in the right section, but because of the cause this should also go in the sale section (as a lot of members don't read this section but always giving away free clothes)

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
