Mission

Chairs up stairs

3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.

Tracy, Tim and Emma all met outside Ms As house ready to do some heavy lifting. We knocked on the door and Ms As carer welcomed us in with the usual "oh I was expecting 3 strong men". We were tasked with moving a recliner chair upstairs for Mrs A, so we quickly found the chair and moved it to the bottom of the stairs. Carrying it upstairs was a bit trickier, we had to lift it above the bannister, manoeuvre around a stair lift and navigate a corner. But we had it upstairs in no time and Mrs A instructed us where to position it for her. She seemed very happy with the new location for her chair so we said goodbye, took a selfie and headed home in time for tea. 🍝
