2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Westminster.

As we arrived at Whitehall, Sophie and I quickly realised this was going to be one GoodGym mission we didn't forget in a hurry!

The porters let us in to the beautiful flats, and we made our way into Mr A's flat to find the walls covered in the most incredible memorabilia including a letter from Winston Churchill and one from the King of Libya!

We set about moving the single bed out so a hospital bed could be moved in - a task made just slightly more interesting by the lack of any lights that worked. It took quite a bit of manoeuvring, especially trying to avoid an incredible bronze bust in the hallway, but after a bit of 'to me, to you-ing' we managed it.

On our way out we couldn't help but spot an original lithograph from a very famous artist indeed... what a way to spend a Monday evening!

Wow! Sounds like an incredible mission. Well done Ana and Sophie! I'm sure Mr A is very grateful.
