Swindon

Mission

I'm not part of the usual A team but Mr T was grateful for my help

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Swindon.

As I already do a regular shopping mission (I hate shopping😄) plus GoodGym community missions I don't usually accept other shopping missions but Mr T is also a regular and the GoodGymers who usually shop for him were not available. I was in the area anyway so I felt the need to step in. Mr T is a very polite gentleman and his shopping needs are simple. One of Mr T's regular shoppers our very own GoodGym queen Teresa provided me with the door access code to the sheltered accommodation and I got suitably lost in the maze of corridors. When I finally found Mr T's apartment he was ready for a good ole chat and then handed me his shopping list and cash. It didn't take long before I was off and back again leaving Mr T with his groceries and an England football game to watch. It was my pleasure to be able to help this very grateful gentleman.
