Tracey Emin is to donate a signed copy of her Olympic poster to the charity shop.
This is to replace an embroidered handkerchief by the artist which was stolen from the shop's window display at Christmas. The handkerchief, hand stitched with the words "be faithful to your dreams, Tracey Emin 1999", was kindly donated to Herne Hill's Oxfam shop by a local resident towards the end of last year. It was put on display in the window for £300 but was subsequently stolen on one of the busiest days in the run up to Christmas.
The story was featured in The Standard who contacted Emin to tell her about the theft. "She was really shocked and kindly offered us one of her signed Olympic posters," said Gokcen Erdinc, the Herne Hill Oxfam's shop manager. "Hopefully we'll get it soon and raise good money for Oxfam."
Be a model for a day!
National charity Living Streets is looking for real people and families who live in or near Herne Hill to take part in a charity photo shoot next Tuesday afternoon. Anyone and any age welcomed.
Volunteers will receive a free portrait/family group photo taken on the day as well as a goody bag to thank them for taking part. It's expected that volunteers will be required for half an hour or so.
The photos will be used to promote Living Streets' community activity in the area but will also be used on national materials and websites to promote walking more generally. If you're interested in taking part please email info@livingstreets.org.uk for more details.
Look out for the revised gym plan which will be displayed at the Lido by 29 January 2011.
Clare Motton will hold a further meeting to discuss the revised plan on the 2nd February 2012 at 6.30pm in the Whippersnappers Room. Mark Braithwaite, Divisional Business Manager will also be in attendance.
