Desperate people / please donate good quality items to the refugees at the Barry Centre, Barry road.


Whiskers

Recommended Posts

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)

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
