Donations from local firms to charities.(Goods not money)


Recommended Posts

I am a trustee of a small South London Charity and like most the voluntary sector, we are experiencing funding cut backs from our sponsors. In the need to maintain a service and to retain staff - other budgets have been severely restricted. Talking with staff the other day - it would appear that stationery supplies have been cut back to the bare minimum with staff expected to supply their own pens, notebooks, ring folders and other basic office supplies. Does anyone know a firm that needs to off load some discontinued stock.


Also some firms are happy to give away computers /laptops . There was a south London organisation that dealt with surplus office supplies but I cannot remember their details - can anyone recall this organisation?

    • We also just used Paul and his colleauge Damien to replace some fans, fix loose kitchen light, and check smoke detectors.  Straight forward, skilled and very decent guys.  Even tolerated some heckling from the kids.  
    • Went past yesterday there was one man skating. It was a good use of a derelict site, but hopefully it won’t be if Southwark Council  and Dulwich estates sort it out. Compulsory purchase anyone?
    • The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here. Have a look at this -   
    • A beer in the garden would have been nice, I'm sure! Mine was a meal inside. I don't remember much about it except that it was horrible.
