Hi, I just wondered if anyone was already organising a collection of clothes, bedding, toys etc for the residents of Grenfell Tower who have escaped the terrible fire. I have things I'd like to donate but I can't get over to any of the collection points in West London. It would be great if we could organise something.

i'm in.... i can donate stuff but unfortunately don't have transport.


Update....


Luckily a friend of mine went up to that side of town & was able to collect stuff from me.

I was able to fill up his car with a few blow up beds, toiletries, clothes, shoes, food, bedding etc


He's struggling to get around in the area as most roads are closed.... But we are hoping he'll soon find people to give the stuff to.

There are quite a few fundraising sites for residents of Grenfell Tower...

Also, the Red Cross attend many disaster areas, this one included, if anyone wants to donate to them.

In addition to clothes/food etc (which @RBKC is saying hold back on for now, they are inundated)? I bet the displaced need phones / computers? need some way to get online to get information and get in contact with family.


I know nothing about technology? do people think donations of old-but-working phones be helpful??

    • Sounds like a cool place to hang out, even it I am over the minimum drinking age.  Always looks cool when I cycle past, never seen any bother and love some of the community stuff they do too.
    • Are you aware that the young people using the skate park, none of whom (to the best of my knowledge) had previously acted, put on an absolutely amazing performance of A Midsummer's Night Dream actually in and around the skate park? They all learned their words. To the best of my knowledge they all made their costumes. They all attended rehearsals.  During some scenes of the play, some of them were actually on skateboards. The performance would have been a credit to professional actors. It was wonderful. There were also a group of people using a small area behind the skateboard as an allotment. They are really keen. I have talked to them. I don't know if they are still there - it hasn't been the season or the weather for much growing lately.   As for "underage drinking and drugs " -  I have never seen any evidence of either on this site. Have you, or are you just making assumptions? Skateboarding is very skilled. How do you suppose somebody under the influence of alcohol or drugs could do it? The last time I passed, there was a father (I presume) in there with his son (I presume). I don't know who was teaching who, but it was really heartwarming to see.   
    • Just wondering if the collections were merged, and if we know what charity/charities were supported in the end as a tribute to Akif Mushtaq? Apologies if this information was in another thread which I have missed.
    • Totally agree with you that the skate park is a great little autonomous zone for kids and youth. But at the same time there's gotta be a way to make better of the pub than having a derelict, vandalised building, even if it means moving the skate park. It's not just a missed opportunity, it's actively antisocial neglect by Dulwich Estate and Stonegate.
