I spent 90 minutes with Mrs N today, helping to clean and reorder her flat. I shifted some heavy boxes, rearranged furniture and organised several cupboards to make the space more open and easier for her to move around.

As we worked, we chatted about her life and it was lovely to hear more of her story and connect over a shared enjoyment of music and art. The time passed quickly as the flat gradually transformed into a calmer, more spacious environment.

By the end of the visit, Mrs N was sitting comfortably on the sofa I’d repositioned, smiling to herself as she took in all the new space around her.

It felt like a small but meaningful change and I left feeling grateful for the chance to help make her home feel lighter and more comfortable.
