2 East Dulwichians raising money for Alzheimer's Society - can you help?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,


Last year my friend and I decided to embark on a journey to run 12 half marathons in 12 months in 12 different cities. We've been training at ParkRun in Dulwich Park and have conquered 3 races in Europe so far.


Our ultimate goal is to raise as much money for Alzheimer's Society as possible and we're currently raising awareness for people to either donate or join us on some of the trips. I had a couple of questions for the forum to help us with the promotion of this challenge:


1. We're looking at putting up a few posters in Lordship Lane. Does anyone know of any shops or pubs that are willing to promote causes such as this, or are they mostly against having posters up in the windows?


2. We hosted a pub quiz in Waterloo in December to fundraise, which was a great success. Does anyone know a good pub in Lordship Lane which is well suited to pub quizzes?


Thanks for reading! If you have any other ideas about how to promote our RunEurope they would be welcomed. You may see us in the first issue of the Dulwich Diverter if all goes well too :)


Our website for further info & donations is here: www.runeurope.co.uk


Thanks!


Cameron & Jason from Hayes Grove

    • 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."
