Chigwell Row +70's self-isolation support up and running



Today Chigwell Row Residents Association completed their first +70's self-isolation community support effort.  For a local resident we collected some prescription medicine from Lloyds Pharmacy and also posted a letter.

We are hoping that this news will trigger more local requests, as we have a growing list of DBS checked volunteers who can help.

Hannah Chowdhry, who helped with the delivery and collection of the prescription medicine, and posted the letter, said:

"I am really pleased our first support service has been successful and hope it will encourage others to seek help.

 "I know there are many elderly people that are unaware of our team of people who are prepared to give up time for them.

 "Whether it is a shopping errand you need done, collection of a prescription, posting of a letter or someone to talk to - simply get in touch."

Wilson Chowdhry, who liaised with the elderly resident, said:

"We were very fortunate to arrive at the pharmacist at a time when there was no queue. 

 "The woman we helped will no doubt have been surprised with the expedience of the service and pleased with the result.

 "We hope all local families are coming to terms with the lockdown and finding positive ways to engage with themselves and others whilst observing guidelines for self-isolation."

 For help and support please call 020 8500 1192 or

    That's at least two blogs where that picture of the letterbox has been used. The other one was 17 December 2019

    Why is it that when one clicks on "April 2021" on the index a blog comes up dated 30 April 2020? Are you cheating?

During a brief preliminary hearing at the Old Bailey concerning the tragic 5-person sword attack in Hainault resulting in the death of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, it was decided that a full trial would convene on February 3, 2025. Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, the defendant, was escorted into the courtroom by a police officer and court official, appearing aloof and distant behind a partition of glass. In a peculiar moment, he fixed a menacing gaze upon me for approximately two minutes, a futile attempt at intimidation given his confined circumstances. The prosecution outlined the case, detailing the attack on 5 individuals, which began with a collision with an unidentified person and escalated to the wielding of a sword. When confronted by the victim, Mr. Monzo callously retorted, 'I don't care, I'll kill you anyway,' before assaulting him.
