Hi, I am the Postnatal tea group coordinator for the Southwark & Lambeth NCT branch. I have recently been made aware that there have been no tea groups being run in SE22 for several months and I am keen to get these back up and working again.


Due to work commitments, the previous SE22 Tea Host is unable to continue to volunteer to coordinate the various tea groups and the team of hosts.


If you would be interested in helping out with these tea groups, for which there is high demand, please let me know. It's a really fun thing to do and not massively time-consuming.


If you are reading this and are a tea host who, despite having offered to help, have not been contacted recently, please accept my apologies and get in touch as I am also trying to track down everybody who has kindly volunteered in the past - unfortunately a list of the active hosts has not been provided to me, so I'm starting from scratch...


Many thanks for your patience.


Abigail

Hi Abigail,

I'm afraid I dont have the space to host a tea group but interested to know if there has been a group set up for SE22? Looked on NCT website this morning but still looks vacant but remembered there was a post on here, hence my very late reply to your thread!


I was too late for NCT classes in East Dulwich so doing them in Herne Hill but would be great to meet local Mum's too once the baby is born (January)and the tea groups sounds like a fab way to do this


Thanks

I'm not sure whether anything ever happened with the tea groups in SE22...I certainly never heard anything, though I suppose we are bit beyond it now (ha! past it at 7.5 months!)


But there are two NCT drop in coffee mornings - Bumps and Babes - Monday am at Goose Green centre and friday am at St Faiths in North Dulwich - relaxed and tea and biscuits on offer....and lots of chat...

I did host a postnatal NCT tea group a couple of times last year and I would encourage everyone to contact Abigail and volunteer, as it is a fantastic opportunity to meet new mums with babies of similar age. I made a few good friends through the group and we still meet up regularly.


The only thing you need is a big lounge (to fit 7-10 mums with babies) Good luck :)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
