Depending on the amount, size and weight of the items you have got to donate, you could use a shopping trolley and walk or get a bus?

Though I learned from bitter experience how hard it was to take a shopping trolley full of books on the 37 to the Oxfam bookshop in Herne Hill 😂 Books are extremely heavy!

Also, you can now donate to Oxfam by getting a free bag online (sent to you in the post) and downloading a label and donation form/gift aid declaration.

You don't have to take it to the Post Office, you can use a Yodel drop off point eg the little supermarket in Barry Road.

However the bag doesn't hold all that much, and I think they are limiting it to one bag per person at the moment, due to the number of requests.

I recently used it to send them some smart work clothes, shoes etc which I am never going to wear again, having long ago retired, and even longer ago left the last job I had which required me to be smart 😂

However last time I looked at the tracking info the bag was still in transit, so goodness knows whether it will ever actually arrive.

    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks. 
    • I have found a ring on Lordship Lane, if you have lost one please get in touch with a description.  Thanks
    • Consultation findings report attached.  GALA Series 2025 consultation findings report.pdf APPENDIX 2 - updated event site map.pdf
    • Very friendly and marginally competitive before placing the order.  During the works, not reliable scheduling and a lot of grunting, huffing and puffing. BUT BEWARE: Living room carpet laid not square to the walls - the edges are cut not following the stitches/pattern and will fray (not correctable without new carpet - given up) Stair carpets edges fraying - not cut and fitted carefully. One bedroom room carpet is not stretched and has a ridge. The Lynoleum floor in the bathroom buckled. Twice made appointments to correct the last 3 faults, twice did not turn up (the van is broken first; in hospital - without being able to confirm location - second time).  Never called back to arrange the visit.  Clearly he was relying on and succeeding in frustrating me to give up.  During the work, 36 hours of silence with the story “I lost my phone”. Much delay in providing the copy of the invoice for the purchase of a specific carpet - as my guarantee for 6 years of moth resistance. Could not provide references from clients but just one estate agent (Luisaat Samuel Estate Agents) claiming he works for agents . YOU MAY CONSIDER KEEPING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!
