I've got a few awkward things to fix, so visited Penge Men in Sheds website, to hear of the Beckenham Repair cafe. The concept of the latter is to repair and reuse rather than throw away.  I went today, It was buzzing and I was most impressed.  I'm not sure if there are nearer facilities.  I'll post on the Whats on part of the forum the next time the Repair Cafe is open.  Have others any experience in these community projects?  Are there closer ones than Penge and Beckenham?

Thanks all.  A colleague from many moons ago has joined one, and they have pretty sophisticated equipment.  I don't think they operate like a repair cafe where they do multiple small jobs.  MIS appear to do bigger community projects as well as help reduce isolation (sorry if that sounds a bit patronising, but others can maybe explain better)

      Derelict Grove Tavern - who to contact?

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...

      GP offering DNA testing

      By Castleton · Posted

      Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.

      House clearance recommendations?

      By sleepy-li · Posted

      I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.

      House clearance recommendations?

      By emz_167 · Posted

      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.
