Grass cutting for Mrs B (wk1)

West London NHS Trust have referred Mrs B, who requires support to maintain her back garden which has been overgrown with grass and weeds for sometime. Mrs B resides with her husband, both very elderly and frail, both housebound. Mrs B has no friends and family, despite their circumstances, her husband is doing as much as he can to support her given her decrease in weight, persistent body pain and increased frailty however is own mobility is also impaired.

Her husband reports that the garden has remained untouched for quite sometime, they have no means to maintain it considering gardening was part of their pastime before their physical state escalated further. Equipment is at hand for the task, her husband reports they have a grass cutting machine and gloves to maintain the task at hand.

Due to their vulnerable state they are both weary of people getting in touch so please ensure when making contact with them to reference our service (Ealing NHS care coordination service). The back garden is quite large so it may require more then 1 visit to maintain, but only do what you can in 90 minutes and report back if more trips are needed.

GoodGym has listed this mission for one to three GoodGymers. Multiple GoodGymers can attend together, but the mission will still go ahead with just one if only one person signs up by the deadline. If you would prefer not to attend this task on your own, please email missioncontrol@goodgym.org as soon as possible. We will then make sure the task isn’t confirmed unless a second GoodGymer is also available to join you.
