A friend who volunteers at one of the local foodbanks mentioned Bankuet - we have been using it for cash donations. I think cash donations are better than food donations because it means the food bank can better plan what to buy and when: less problems with storage, no risk of ending up with too muc...
I can strongly recommend these local architects: http://www.simbiosiarchitects.com/index.php/en/ As for house prices, it's anyone's guess, really.

I'm interested. However, since this is not a question related to SW London, you might have better luck with a national or international forum like mumsnet. Do report back if you find anything useful.
We need to move locally, a short distance only, and want a company that will also help with packing (they bring boxes, tape, help us pack, etc) A few years ago we used Harradines.
