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??

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
