​The Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers needs help in purchasing and setting up new computers and printers to be used in its three centres in East Dulwich, Peckham and Kennington. These will be used to operate its new cloud based database software, which is replacing a paper-based system. The Centre which is the largest local resource for asylum seekers and refugees depends heavily on volunteer and pro bono workers for the thousands of really vulnerable clients it helps each year. But we could be ready to make a reasonable payment if needed to ensure a successful launch for the new system. It will very substantially improve our ability to help resolve hundreds of housing, immigration, benefits and family cases faced each year by local asylum seekers and refugees. We also expect that there will be a continuing need for expert assistance in maintaining and upgrading the IT network. The project will require daytime working with staff and on premises that are typically shut overnight. But some ' out of hours' flexibility might be possible.

If you, or someone you know, has the skills and enthusiasm to help us make a massive shift in our ability to help really vulnerable clients, please contact Pauline Nandoo or John Rhodes at SDCAS at office@sdcas.org.uk.

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers has signed up with Savoo.co.uk. This is an easy way for our supporters to raise money for us while they are shopping online and searching on the internet.

How it works
There are two ways you can raise money for us:

• Use the Savoo search page (rather than Google, say) to search on the internet. Every time you search in this way, 1p will come to the Day Centre.
• When you want to do some online shopping, check the Savoo website to see if there is a voucher which you can use. There are two benefits to using one of these vouchers: you will get a reduction on the price you pay and also Savoo will donate up to 50% of their commission to Southwark Day Centre. Many famous online stores are part of the Savoo scheme: Amazon, Sainsbury's, John Lewis, play.com, Vodaphone...

How do I get started?

• Go to Southwark Day Centre's Savoo page and click that you would like to support us via the Savoo site.
