Today I supported the grand opening of the Deptford Action Group for the Elderly's (DAGE) new re-use shop and mini 'pop-in' facility.
The re-use shop will sell recycled home furnishings and the 'pop-in' service offers older people a friendly place to have a cup of tea and get advice and information on issues such as healthcare and benefits.
The grand opening took place today with a speech by Lewisham Mayor Sir Steve Bullock.
I welcome the opening of DAGE's Evelyn Street re-use shop and mini 'pop-in'. It's increasingly important that we recycle our furniture as it not only prevents it taking up landfill or being fly-tipped, but also provides affordable furniture for those on lower incomes. I'm also sure the 'pop-in' will prove popular with pensioners and become an important service in our community.
