After a LONG day of going through my wardrobes I have six bin bags worth of clothes to donate. All are good quality and lots never worn (to my shame; I was young and carefree). I'd like to donate these items to a charity shop or two - does anybody know of which shops are currently low on stock/would like them?


Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks!

I agree re St C's - but do phone them to check, before heaving all your bags down there. I went in a couple of weeks ago and they were unable to take anything, as they were totally full up. This may have changed by now ...


Otherwise the MIND shop at Goose Green takes things ...

...and there are the everpresent coffers of the Barry Road refugee centre to fill....


Nothing against the St Christopher's but if I were a refugee it might help reduce the pain if someone had been nice enough to donate totally new, unworn items instead of dowdy emergency supplies.

My friend is organising a clothes swap at The telegraph hill on the evening of the 6.11.2013. she would welcome donations, all proceeds going to work with Syrian refugee children. Dnations can be dropped off at the cafe anytime between now and the 2.11.2013.

We gave several bags of clothes to the refuge on Barry Road, again many unworn or barely worn, and they were very, very gratefully received. They are particularly in need of warm clothes, and clothes for men and children. Baby stuff is always wanted.

The smaller St Christopher's Hospice on Lordship is always grateful for donations. The bigger one does seem to get full from time to time (I think because it is easier to park nearer to it) and they often ask if you can pop down the road to the smaller one. I have taken two car boot fulls of mixed items to the smaller one over the last two weeks and they have been brilliant about taking them - offering to help unload the car and giving me my boxes and bags back for another load. I know when we clear out at home we just clear out but they like anywhere benefit from seasonal items and I had a rummage through our Christmas deccies and put in bits n bobs no longer wanted and they were really pleased.


I took a bag of stuff to the refugee centre in the church at the top of Barry Road 3wks ago and they were reluctant to take it saying they had too much stuff and would only accept items for children - it was kids winter coats I had and so after some negotiation they took it.

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      It's not entitlement FFS. We're paying the council more than £2k a year in tax. It's not too much to expect them to clean the streets and drains of leaves and dog shit for all that money, as well empty one bin once a fortnight.  The streets round here are a disgrace. The council are paid to make them not so. If they can't do it they should say so and stop charging money for the non-service.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By Moovart · Posted

      The Post Office no longer runs the Lordship Lane PO either.  That slipped through under the radar!  Below is an extract from a letter from the PO to me in response to my query about long queues.  Shame the PO didn't say who the new owner actually is.  Does anyone know?   Whilst this branch was a 'Crown' office, this has now been franchised. Services at this location are now operated by an independent Postmaster. They're responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day running of the branch, and is the employer of the members of staff who work in the branch.

      Leaves falling throughout autumn and winter is just nature doing its thing. My bugbear is manmade rubbish strewn all over the floor after bin day. I go out and gather up leaves in my own area. Those with a garden put them in a bag and leave. They make lovely compost.

      Charity World Cup Football Song ⚽🎶 by East Dulwich Kids

      By Alex ED · Posted

      Shouting Out For England is an original England football song to be sung by children from East Dulwich primary schools, with all proceeds going to Football Beyond Borders - a UK charity that works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school. We’re aiming to get to NUMBER 1 on the week of the start of the World Cup in June! To professionally record and release the song we’re looking to raise  £3,750. Any amount will help, but £50 + sponsors receive: a name or logo credit on the digital release sleeve (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube etc.) mention on the project website and social posts You can donate at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/shoutingout - where you can also hear a short demo clip of the song. We hope you can take part, but if not, it would be great if you could forward to anyone you think might be interested!   Shouting Out For England https://shoutingoutforengland.com
