Found this post via nextdoor Jim Waterson, Peckham Rye Park Warning that fish salesman are working their way around the area near Peckham Rye, using forceful tactics to push into people?s homes despite the lockdown, and then overcharging massively for fish. The food is unlabelled and looks in bad condition. Could easily scam people.

David has now been over three weeks without alcohol and is doing really well - we have actually also become close friends, and I have gained so much from the friendship. Thanks for all the advice.

Really appreciate your message - can we exchange numbers? mine is 07903567922 Would be terrific if I could arrange for you to meet with my friend David in his flat - Peckham London SE15 would that be possible?

Hope might give some ideas to anyone that has been having mental health or addiction challenges. Thanks FB Mental Health Believe UK for this badge 'You're a top fan! Keep engaging with this Page to maintain your top fan status.' LOL I only made a few recent comments. Anyway I love this post - since the slow journey to recovery that started on June 1st 2019 my starting over has been very connected with nature and has played a significant part of my recovery - having a back garden has been a god send, my project started on Feb 9th 2020 and was only completed this week. Jones's Mill at the Vera Jeans Reserve ( managed by Wiltshire Wildlife Trust www.wiltshirewildlife.org/joness-mill-the-vera-jeans-reserv? ) Dursden Ln, Pewsey SN9 5JN which came into my life last year near my dear Cousin & Aunty has been joy to experience, near the source of one of the eight river Avon's the little stream. the watercress beds ( delicious by the way ) the open meadows, the wooded areas and right by the enchanting Kennet & Avon canal just one hour from London by train. For weeks now I have in all weathers been barefoot 24/7 this helps me to feel more connected with everything and lol helps me to remove small stones from the lawn which I have been 'making over.' There is pure joy in watching things grow - if you don't have a garden think about pots or containers for a balcony - if neither are options seek out your nearest community garden - connecting with other like minded people is also great for mental health. Seek out your nearest nature reserve,community garden or park you have never visited before, there are so many hidden gems on our doorstep. Also at least just once a day check out FB Mental Health Believe UK there are many messages of hope.

www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/over-10000-residents-are-on-the-shielding-list-in-southwark/ Me thinks big issue is that you can only apply for support on-line So many that are 'falling between the cracks' Maybe Nunhead Knocks could organise a one off leaflet drop to all residents.Such a pity that so many are not taking advantage of this offer. We also need to be aware that 85% of people over 60 do not use the internet or have fancy phones. 'But despite a huge public awareness campaign, less than half these people counted by the council are formally registered with the government?s own shielded list and, of this group, only 46 per cent (or 2,060 residents) are receiving government-sponsored food deliveries.' If anyone reading this post is aware of a neighbour that could benefit please urge them to contact Southwark Council Note: It seems you can only apply 'on-line' for emergency support - so if the neighbour is not 'connected' please offer to help if you have a 'device' www.southwark.gov.uk/benefits-and-support/emergency-support

Dear Jules and Blah Blah your advice is much appreciated and yes the big issue is that he lives on his own - my friend has now been offered 121 socially distanced AA support twice weekly and he is very keen to attend. I will discuss your feedback with the person running the AA Group.

Yesterday 22 June a chance encounter outside Kristal Pharmacy connected me with a 63yo gentleman. For five years he was alcohol free and had been attending AA groups, come the lock down all such support ended and the guy fell off the wagon. 'I have trouble sleeping, awake since 2am it is a long wait until 6am when the off licence opens and I can get my vodka, I have fallen between the cracks, my life is falling apart I am desperate for help, I don't have a computer, calling a helpline or joining a whatsapp group is no use, I need 121 socially distanced help.' So I took details and shared that I could not make any promises but would try and help in some way. What struck me hard was the realisation that no doubt this poor guy could be the tip of an iceberg I imagine there could be literally hundreds of thousands of ex 'addicts' that as a consequence of the lock down have relapsed - there has been plenty of media about cases of domestic abuse going through the roof - what about alcohol & drug 'addiction'? All over London there are wonderful COVID-19 Support Groups including here Nunhead Knocks with over 1500 volunteers, however I imagine they are not 'equipped' to help anyone that has relapsed due to alcohol or drugs. I can't save the world, but if just this one guy could be helped then maybe by small steps others that have 'fallen between the cracks' in time can also get 'real world' support. We need to be aware that so many that need help are without internet access and invariably have a very basic phone. The offer of a PC or a new phone ('you can join our whatsapp group, you can join our Zoom group, you can call this support line') is exactly NOT what these people need. So I am reaching out to anyone reading this post that has AA Support experience that is prepared to offer socially distanced 121 help for this guy. For your information lives in Nunhead. If anyone can help please send me a private msge. Please keep the feedback non judgemental and focused on trying to help this guy.

For the record I take it everyone is referring to: http://www.hunterheatingsolutions.co.uk/
