Lewisham Covid 19 mutual aid group

I emailed The Resident - they only included the Devonshire Road group in Forest Hill, for some reason.

We just put together one page that anyone in Forest Hill who wants to help can visit to find their group:

It includes guidance on how to help people, while protecting vulnerable people and yourself. Hope it helps!

Hi. Does anyone know if it’s possible to get whatsapp on an ipad without having a smartphone? I’d really love to get my mother-in-law on the family whatsapp group but she doesn’t have a smartphone.

I tried the link given, but you have to have whatsapp on your phone first to be able to get it on your computer.

Any techies please help!

@JusP You can get the app for an Ipad but I think you need a phone number to sign up.
However there are some alleged “hacks” to get it to work.

I have no idea if it works though

My son (22) has been working as a bike mechanic for a year. If anyone needs any bike servicing, let me know and I’ll be happy to drag him off Counterstrike for an hour.

The shop would normally charge £50 for a basic service: I would say if you’re a ‘key worker’, then I will get him to do the labour for free. If you need/have parts please try to supply them. We actually have a limited number of inner tubes in stock if you can’t get them anywhere.

Please just DM me if you need something and I will try to sort if out. Anyone not in ‘key worker’ category, he’s worked on properly expensive road bikes, can tune up gears, replace parts, whatever. I’m sure he’ll give you a good deal, maybe even in exchange for beer. We don’t need toilet paper. I have 4 rolls.

We have a back gate near FH Sainsbury’s for you to drop the bike off without getting close to anyone. He doesn’t want to take business from other bike stores nearby, but they seem to be extremely busy at the moment, so I’ve suggested he should try to help out where he can.
