Here's what Mrs S of HA8 had to say about the mission:

'It was absolutely amazing - brilliant! I can't tell you much it's helped me. I can see all the clothes in my wardrobe now - and I've found things I'd forgotten about!

Mrs S of HA8, mission beneficiary

This morning Justin and I met and managed a bit of sorting and organizing for Ms. S. Her wardrobe doors are being removed, to provide easier access to her clothing, but first a cleanup was need.

A delightful person, with an eye for fashion, Ms. S had garments galore needing to be sorted, arranged, and rehung. Although very little was gotten rid of, Ms. S clearly enjoyed chatting and having a chance to see all the clothes she cherishes. Trousers, jumpers, dresses, polo necks and track suits were pulled out, straightened, grouped by type, and returned to the wardrobe. With doors coming off and clothes now easier to find, Ms. S daily dressing is sure to be a delight. A cuppa was enjoyed by Justin while we worked, and then off we went with many expressions of gratitude following us out the door.

Well done both; it sounds like this was really reassuring for Ms S!
