We've written a statement on the recent police actions in Croydon. You can read it here southnorwoodcommunitykitchen…
I love a good postcard, and local artist PiNS now has some for sale on his website: pinspired.com/shop/ — mine were delivered yesterday and I’m very happy with them!

It's Baltic out there. We're launching a programme of Winter warm spaces to help people stay warm and happy. Free tea, coffee, biscuits and activities. More details and December schedule can be found here: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/keep-my-… Back our Crowdfunder to help us keep doing this 🫶
If you want to show your postal worker that you support their strike, you can download a poster from cwu.org/rmgballotresources and print it out to put in your window. Our postie saw our poster the other day and was very happy! Please consider doing this; it does make a difference.

Go on, chuck Shaniqua a fiver (or more if you can!)
She does good work for people in Croydon, and it would be great to get this anthology fully funded.
Since 2016, @YPInsight has empowered the voices of young people through conversation, poetry & writing. This has all been captured in this special one-off anthology that you can help bring to print life. Please share: gofund.me/37e0f36b

Update: Christmas Blend tea is very good — if you like interesting tea then you should definitely try it.
Lunch ordered from @MatthewsYard, including a cup of their Christmas Blend loose leaf tea which I’m very much looking forward to trying.

Just added another #Croydon will to my website; this one’s particularly interesting in social terms as it lists individual belongings e.g. “My Stereoscope in Box and all the Slides”, “Strickland’s Lives of the Queens of England in 6 Volumes”. london-road-croydon.org/hist…
Two new historical sources added to my London Road website!
london-road-croydon.org/hist…
· Transcripts & summaries of Croydon-related wills (1595–1862)
· A full-colour, zoomable, pannable, fade-in-and-outable version of the 1800 Croydon Enclosure Map
Please enjoy 😄
