  1. Good morning everybody I am available for freelance work to help a VCS / local charity interested in applying for the digital inclusion fund from Lambeth Council - more info below. Please contact me privately for a preliminary discussion and / or arrange meeting if your organisation is interested in putting forward an application, clearly stating the name of your organisation / registered charity number and its main mission. What is the main aim of this fund? The main aim of this fund is to supply people with the equipment needed to be actually connected and digitally empowered. Therefore I will be able to respond to individuals contacting me in their personal capacity or without quoting the organisation they represent. Please note training skills programmes cannot be funded and sole traders / individuals cannot apply. How can I help? I can explain the technical, ergonomic and cognitive / emotional needs of different audience groups with regard to digital media, tools, software and hardware. I can do background research, extract data from marketing and technical sources, write business cases, compare and explain the characteristics and benefits of different technical specifications. I can provide further information on a wide range of mobile devices and computer platforms from reliable sources. I can write or review your application to give it more chances to be reliable, convenient and successful. More information I paste here Extracts from News from Lambeth, 17 Nov 2023: Link to the website: https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/digital-inclusion-fund/what-will-be-funded
  2. Have you mistakenly taken a Speedo Brigitte Black size 34 (AUS 10, IT 44) swimming costume and left behind a similar one black with white strips, same size, Speedo Endurance+ with a Lily flower coat of arms symbol printed on the back at a local swimming pool? Please contact me to arrange the exchange! In the meantime I have sanitised it and I am going to use yours but honestly, I'd rather wear mine and I guess you would be happier wearing yours 🙂 Thank you
  3. Hello! I am looking for about 6 hours of work per week doing activities that I can organise flexibly in my own time, compatibly with other self-care requirements. Do you have collections of manuscripts, musical sheets, books, CDs and vynil discs, stamps or other objects that need to be catalogued? I am happy to help on a freelance basis at very convenient rates. Either because you want to sell them or because you just want to enjoy sharing the data with others, use them for a publication or for an inventory of your assets for probate reasons, cataloguing your collection is the first step to move forward, create new memories, services and value. I can use your choice of software, websites and apps or suggest the most suitable for your purpose, fill the the estate inventory asset spreadsheets you have already or design some bespoke worksheets you can then upload on different platforms and operating systems. I can offer a wide range of skills for the job: semiretired, former librarian, information officer and ICT consultant, project manager, local housekeeper, I am still trying to remain active and healthy as a freelance. Writer (pen name Brunella Longo), private language tutor and nutritional coach are the roles I can currently work for. Do not hesitate to contact for rates and availability. http://www.linkedin.com/in/mariabrunella http://www.linkedin.com/in/brunella https://www.pantarei.it
  4. Hello! Do you want to briefly explain what do you need in a private message to me? Self-assessment for self-employment people with none or just 1 to 3 dependants can be sorted out in one or two hours max. Happy to help, my hourly rate for admin support starts at £25 per hour. If there is anything really complicated I can direct you to good accountants or contact HMRC on your behalf. Get in touch privately to arrange a phone appointment as first thing because I am quite busy for the next two / three months and I have limited availability.
  5. Have you tried googling 'boarding schools for tennis'? There are a lot of commercial results but also interesting clues.
  6. In case you do not know them there are few organisations at national and local level that can direct you to the right type of persons. See the NHS page Where to get autism support - NHS (www.nhs.uk) and the National Autistic Society website first. NAS has also a local branch in Lambeth.
  7. Hello Andypops18 good to see somebody is looking for Italian language speaking workers in the community! I do not offer babysitting, nanny, carer services (and I cannot even say I would like to because I have health conditions that make me unsuitable for such roles) but - good news! - in case it is useful for you, your nannies or for your children I do work as a freelance language tutor locally so I am more than happy to discuss any realistic work opportunity - see my previous posts at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/301745-english-or-italian-as-foreign-languages-private-tutor/ I can also offer help as a nutritional coach: effective and rapid results guaranteed in terms of organising diets, grocery shopping, meals / food preparation with and without some technological support. Do not hesitate to get in touch! Buona serata Maria Maria Longo 0788 7990108 [email protected]
  8. Sorry to hear about people going out of business. Agree about Herne Hill market on Sunday: it offers great variety of local produce whereas the shops on Lordship Lane have high-quality foods from all over the world not always very convenient, Morrisons Sainsbury's M&S Lidl and other supermarkets may disappoint occasionally but I think all in all the quality of the fruit & veg they offer is quite high with a great number of suppliers that is worth to check and try from time to time because you discover new varieties and new tastes. Lambeth Community Shop in Vale Street (between West Dulwich and West Norwood) is a good place to buy fruit and veggies that are close to their Best Before / Use by date. The shop is a social enterprise for those who cannot afford market / supermarket / shop prices and qualify for support: membership is only for people that receive means tested benefits and carers, it sells surplus food so supplies can be zero one day and tons the day after, you need to be very flexible and committed to eat well no matter your earnings.
  9. You can alway follow advice from Humanists UK - I think they have a campaign focussing on the idea of teaching young people to be curious about beliefs that means also learning about various religions https://humanists.uk
  10. Just updating this post now since I have heard on the radio that the issue is in the news today to say that following a 1:02:00 waiting time last month I eventually re-claimed my refund over the phone and this time around the money was back in my bank account after 10 days.
  11. Has anybody received any refund on last year self assessment? I claimed a refund in October but nothing has come through yet.
  12. Best ways to get in the City from here are by train or by bicycle or by a mix of both. Check out trains that depart and arrive from Farrington, City Thameslink, London Bridge or Cannon Street. From London Bridge - about 10 minutes by bicycle from Bank or Moorgate - you can also use the underground. The same is from Blackfriars or Farrington. Probably the best train station in terms of routes and flexible alternatives to choose is Peckham Rye (zone 2).
  13. Towels can create problems for small charity shops because to be sure they do not pass germs they need to be washed at 90 degrees - and in certain cases, for instance spores of C.diff bacteria or some fungal infections, it seems that high temperature washing with domestic or commercial washing machines is not even enough to completely sanitize them. So perhaps the best thing is to hand them over to those who can manage some sort of industrial safe recycling. You can try TRAID Peckham - they take donations of linen in store (Rye Lane). Huge list of Southwark recycling sites for textiles is at this page: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/recycling-centres/local-recycling-centres?chapter=2&article
  14. Hello Sanjay last year among other things I was offering something like the service you are looking for (it was called "family cook") but the business turned out to be not viable so I discontinued it. However, good news is that I work as a nutritional coach and I can give you all the support, the specific instructions and very quick guidance to sort out the problem very effectively, so that you always have very healthy ready meals in your freezer or fridge, good for your wellbeing, medical conditions or goals (such as loosing weight, eat less sugars, get more vitamin D etc). You do not need to become a cook but just take care of yourself! A basic nutritional coaching programme consists of three meeting each of 45 minutes online. Get in touch privately if you like the idea and you want to know more, no better time to start as there will be new year resolutions discounts coming up in a couple of weeks :) Best wishes Maria
  15. Many thanks, grazie mille! I am pleased to offer a four weeks, hands-on new programme aimed at mastering English for international communications. It can be delivered in presence or online. Research has shown that over the 40% of English phrases commonly used in business, marketing and advertising communications targeted to EMEA customers and suppliers is not understood. Highly interactive and tailored, the programme will focus on functional and specialistic language useful for specific industries, targets or market segments. Please feel free to share and reach out for more. Maria Longo Mobile 07887990108 email [email protected]
