Social Visit for ex-school teacher Miss D who enjoys reading and bird watching

The Prevention and Enablement Team at Luton Council has asked if we can set up a Social Visit for Miss D. She lives on her own and does not get out much apart from when she sometimes goes shopping on Saturday with her niece. She never married and has no children of her own and was a school teacher for many years, working in Luton at different schools through out her years.

Miss D particularly likes bird watching and reading books and would love to be able to have a chat with someone and share stories with them. Whilst her mobility is not great, she is mentally very sharp. She suffered a fall and has some mobility issues but is able to walk around the home with her frame.

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.

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.

Miss D is very flexible on days and times (including weekends and evenings) so 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.
