Mummy's Gin Fund

We are often sent photos of #missing children to circulate on MGF. One reason we only share links to official appeals by Police or @missingpeople is because they are updated, and photos taken down once child has been found. This article is a useful read: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-395031…

I want to fundraise to buy a set of Margaret McDonald’s fantastic novel Glasgow Boys for my class - any good ideas to raise money, hive mind? All I’m coming up with so far is a sponsored read with my pupils, which isn’t super exciting 🤷 I reckon I’d need about £250 😬

@CaileanSteed Are there any parenting/community-spirited FB groups in your area? A post on there might secure you some extra copies - it's an approach that has been successful at least once on MGF.

On August 26th until September 23rd 2024, Lewisham police station will be participating in the hand in of ‘Zombie-Style’ Knives and ‘Zombie-Style’ Machetes as part of the Home office Surrender and Compensation Scheme. To learn how to do this click here spkl.io/6011f6Z1Z

@MPSLewisham Which of the Tesco branches does this relate to? @MailOnline and other news outlets are showing a photo of the Rushey Green store. There's a store at 480-486 Bromley Rd and the new one at 335-337. The 136 bus passes all of them.

Could you help out the Y5 class I am teaching? They are looking at food insecurity. They would like to know, from a range of adults, what effect have rising food costs have? Have you had to make cut backs at a result? Do you have any suggestions for those in charge? Thank you!

Can you help us help @bankof_things by sharing this post or buying something from the wishlist? @lewishamlocal @LewishamYCP @CitA_Lewisham @LewishamCouncil @gglewisham @CatfordFoodMkt @Love_Catford @CatfordGinFest

@Sally_writes ☹️

When you've ordered in a load of stock for a school visit but then the teacher never sends out the book order form to parents... ...so you have to tell your poor dispirited books who have already packed their bags and toothbrushes that they're no longer being rehomed

@helentamblyn @Louiestowell Not going to make up for your just outrage but one year, my daughter was a carrier bag in the Christmas performance...

@Louiestowell Mate, I was the announcer. THE ANNOUNCER. Because they forgot to give me a part at all because I was at a hospital appointment for my leg problems and when I got back, oh yeah, you can be the announcer.

We are disappointed that today’s #AutumnStatement didn’t mention uprating Bereavement Support Payment. This lifeline support for families when a parent dies has lost 22% of value since 2017. Uprating would offer real relief for grieving families. #CGAW23 #OurShapeofSupport
