Mission

Chairing is caring

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

Sunday, 9th of September 2018

Francis and I shared a Sunday morning with the very welcoming Mrs D. She needed help moving some furniture from the living room to the spare bedroom. Her husband will soon be returning home from hospital, and the space we cleared will make way for his hospital bed to be delivered.

The settee, armchair and coffee table were nice and light, but the narrow doorways meant we had a bit of a mental workout in the process as we carefully calculated and communicated angles.

In less than half an hour we’d moved the items and were on our way. Mrs D has been alone at home since her husband’s admission to hospital, so was grateful for the visit and for the help.
