It seems that perhaps we should let Dulwich Helpline stay in charge of the organising, especially as there are so many concerns. I would still very much like to help so please private message me if you do find someone on Crystal Palace Road area who needs a hand. Shame the people we want to help, proabably don't go online - or I am sure we would be inundated!


Its back to freezing at the weekend and maybe snow, so perhaps we can just help out organically, be extra watchful for people. Its nice to know that there are people out there with a sense of Community even if we haven't been able to formalise it.

I can do top half of Barry Road (Goodrich - LL and Etherow Street area) I can do a limited amount of snow clearance but would be happy for someone who may need help to have my phone number. Would ber happy to do shopping locally. I work full time ( as a social worker- so have already been CRB'd).

I suggest that for security reasons that no volunteer goes inside the person's house, and all transactions take place at the front door.


I am a member of Barry Area Residents' Assocaition and I will try and get some feedback from my members at our meeting tonight.

When I lived in Elephant & Castle our local community centre had the names and addresses of all the local elderly or disabled people and they used to deliver a food box every Christmas. Not sure how they managed to get their details, but it was organised by the over 50 club, so maybe they just knew them all. They used to get the younger users of the centre to deliver the parcels.


Maybe you guys could organise this through the local community centre.

Sorry for the long absence from the discussion -- I'm afraid we haven't had internet service for several days.


Anyways, I hadn't read some of the earlier posts in this message carefully enough, and am thinking it sounds like the best idea would be for all of us volunteers to make our details available to Dulwich Helpline, which seems to have the resources to coordinate between volunteers and people in need, and also offer to post leaflets/flyers in the neighbourhood advising people to contact Dulwich Helpline if they need help in these conditions, even if they are usually self-sufficient?

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By yaymukund · Posted

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
