sanity girl Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 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.

sweetgirl Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 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 etcHe'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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy10 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I have just come on to look and see if anyone is collecting, I'm the same wish to give baby stuff but with 2 babies to look after I can't travel across London. Please update if you hear of any local collection points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutorse22 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Molly Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I donated a few old but still working mobiles. I bought sim cards & put ?5 credit on them. Tesco in Brixton are collecting items including clothing & shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
