Here's what Mrs M of SE19 had to say about the mission:

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your assistance. The volunteers were fantastic and the clients were very grateful for the outcome. I have used GoodGym a couple of times now; many of my clients are socially isolated and struggle to support themselves and I have found this charity incredibly helpful in providing positive outcomes. We really appreciate the time of the volunteers. So thank you again!' - Feedback from the referrer who referred this task to us, well done all!

Mrs M of SE19, mission beneficiary

Tim and I (Lauren) had a great time helping Mrs. M and her husband move some furniture to make room for a hospital bed. With the help of their lovely OT and a serendipitous allen wrench, we were able to complete the task pretty efficiently. We moved a bed and a mattress upstairs and moved the old bed frame outside for collection. Lauren got lost on the run home, but hopefully Tim's cycle back was a breeze.
