Seeking charity work


CatJennings

Recommended Posts

We just moved to Herne Hill (off of Half Moon Lane) and I'm looking to find some charitable weekend activities for my girls (4 years old / 9 years old) and I in the neighbourhood. (e.g. care home help, working in a soup kitchen, tending to homeless animals, etc.) Any recommendations gratefully received!

Hi Cat


Try Dulwich Helpline, they are based in the old Dulwich Hospital and they help older people.


Dulwich Helpline and Southwark Churches Care

Overview

Both Dulwich Helpline and Southwark Churches Care were founded in 1993 to help older (60+) residents living in two adjoining areas in Southwark to continue to participate in their communities, even when they found getting out increasingly difficult. In 2012 the two charities amalgamated and decided to expand their area of operation to most areas in Southwark in order to offer sustainable services to isolated older residents.


DH&SCC works to improve the quality of life and the physical and mental health of isolated older residents in Southwark. Including dementia.


by recruiting and supporting volunteers to befriend them and provide emotional and practical support, and

by organising community and group activities for them

They combat loneliness and we enable older people to live in their own homes for as long as possible.


Becoming a DH&SCC service-user is free of charge. To benefit from any of their services you must be 60 or over and reside in Southwark.

    • I have an amazing one but doesn’t need work, it’s Indian rosewood and around 100yrs Old.
    • Criminals prefer well lit streets too.  I expect that Southwark has turned up the brightness of the street lights which has increased crime.   early research suggests no increase in crime, possibly a decrease but Covid makes analysis more complex   https://findingspress.org/article/19414-the-impact-of-introducing-a-low-traffic-neighbourhood-on-street-crime-in-waltham-forest-london
    • Male acting very suspiciously on Court Lane and adjacent roads (Calton Avenue, Gilkes Crescent, Woodwarde Road etc…) There’s been a very significant increase in crime on these roads and adjacent roads due to the Southwark Council LTN, even more so with the recent works that are ongoing Residents and their property are being deliberately and negligently put at risk by Southwark Council’s actions and criminals are deliberately targeting this area and exploiting it given significantly reduced flow of people, much quieter, poor lighting, easy getaway and no access for the police The closure of the junction at Court Lane, Dulwich Village and Calton Avenue is a boon to thieves and criminals making the adjacent streets much less safe. The workmen have put in place wrought iron bollards in the middle of the road on Court Lane and Calton Avenue which stops police and other emergency services from accessing from Dulwich Village This materially increases the risks to residents and crime has gone up materially as a result The workmen say that they are under strict instructions from Southwark Council to put the wrought iron bollards in the middle of the road and that there’s nothing that they can do it alao stops ambulances and fire engines from getting through
