A lovely and interesting lady in her 90's is looking for someone to chat with to lift up her day
When I informed Mrs F. that I could refer her to a service providing companionship, she was so enthusiastic about it as she spends most of the time alone at home.

Date and time
15:00 - 16:30Portsmouth City Council has asked Goodym to provide Social Visits for Mrs F. When visited for an assessment on how support could be provided to improve social/emotional well-being, Mrs F expressed a sense of isolation and loneliness due to her inability to go out because of poor mobility. Mrs F is very keen on having someone around for a chat. Mrs F loves to talk, she shares her passion for photography and for foreign people. She likes learning new words from other countries. Mrs F also uses her Ipad and Mac a lot.
GoodGym has listed this mission for one or two GoodGymers. Two GoodGymers can go together, but the mission will still go ahead with one if only one person signs up by the deadline. If you are concerned about going solo, please do not feel under pressure to attend. Instead, please send us an email to missioncontrol@goodgym.org. If you let us know, we will not confirm it unless we have a second GoodGymer.
If you’d like to do this mission but cannot make any of the listed times or dates, please email missioncontrol@goodgym.org and we will do our best to organise this for you.
You can find out more about Social Visits here https://goodgym.kayako.com/section/26-social-visit-missions
Not all homes have been risk assessed by the referrer or GoodGym and, although we will always give you as much information as we can before the mission, the home environment may still not be as expected, or may have changed. Remember that you do not have to enter, or remain in, the property if you do not feel comfortable. We recommend that you review your social visits training regularly as this contains advice on lone working and reporting concerns.
