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.

    • I'm reviving this thread in order to have a moan. Dive. Deep dive. I'm not sure why, but recently these words seem to be in everything I read,  especially online, and I am finding them REALLY ANNOYING. Why not just say, I'm finding out more about this, or,  now I am going to tell you much more about this? AAAARGH. (It's also annoying that the local swimming pool isn't deep enough to dive, but that's a totally different issue.)

    • We have a large length of marine rope that you are welcome to have. It has been outside so is wet and heavy. Photo attached. Chris 
    • What do you need a solicitor for? What advice do you/they need? Only the courts or the tenants can end a tenancy, the landlord can only require possession. If it is a section 21 that is a "no fault" eviction,  meaning the landlord simply wants their property back vacant. If it is a section 8 it means the landlord requires possession because of rent arrears or some other kind of breach of the tenancy agreement. If there is no notice then it is potentially an illegal eviction. TBH the council are probably likely to advise they stay put until the courts evict them, but that could result in them being allocated emergency accomodation - which could be outside of Southwark and possibly a hotel room or hostel.  As you will be very much aware council housing is rarer than hens teeth in inner London so I would advise this family not to pin thejr hopes on that, they would better off trying to find somewhere more stable to rent privately.
