Hi you Lovely East Dulwich Residents & Friends further afield,


A group of local volunteers are running a weekly Tuesday coffee morning at Lordship Lane Baptist Church (LLBC) for the local community. They offer a cup of tea/coffee some cakes/biscuits and a chat/some board games. As "All are welcome" they have a range of people attending of varying ages.


They run a clothes bank and plan to do various other activities such as a Knitting & crocheting club/"Film Tuesdays"/Silver Surfers etc. to engage the people attending. They desperately need the following (good quality please) items:


Kitting/crocheting needles

Knitting wool

Prams/Pushchairs

Baby carriers

Travel cots

Baby clothes

Winter clothes - babies/children/women & men

Laptops/Desktops - Do you know any companies/organisations who could donate these for their "silver surfers"?

TV with disc facilities for their "Film Tuesday" & exercise class

Copies of classic films-12 Angry Men/Casablanca etc.

Plants/herbs for their planned therapy garden/help of a local gardener


I offered to post a message for them so please pm me to let me know if you have any of the above items or if you can help in other ways e.g. could you become a monthly/quarterly/yearly "Friend" of Friends & Neighbours - could you provide their monthly teas/coffees? Or why not pay them a visit and see what they do and offer your donations directly.


I love a good imitative and I know they will welcome your help and I thank you on their behalf for this in advance.

As I can't volunteer at present with them I have become a "Monthly Friend" of "Friend & Neighbours" and will help

with their publicity. Can anyone print their flyers/do a banner?


Let's make a difference together in 2016!

They desperately need pushchairs. Three ladies who attend have given birth in the last

2 weeks so they have given 2 baby carriers but are still looking for pushchairs....


Anyone out there with a pre-loved pushchair that they no longer need?

Hi there,


"Friends & Neighbours" would really appreciate any donations you can make.


Has anyone got a double buggy they would like to swop with one of the mums who is due to give birth in the next couple of weeks?


Thank you,

Laura

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
