Here's what Mr J of SE10 had to say about the mission:

We heard back from the person who referred this task to us: "Just read the report, that's fantastic! We are hoping to get Mr J home safely from hospital today, all thanks to your help!"

Mr J of SE10, mission beneficiary

We were literally jingling all the way thanks to Steve's festive attire. As it was a last minute call up, neither of us were in goodgym branding, but Steve found the next best thing - as pictured, it has fully functioning bells. Also helpful on a dark rainy night to spot a bit of red, aiding identification from the other end of the street.

The mission was pretty straightforward, a bit of furniture reorganisation in Mr J's living room and bedroom to allow his discharge from hospital. Mr J's daughter gave us our instructions and told us a bit about his life, particularly his love of painting. We then realised that many of the paintings on the walls were his and spent some time admiring them. We thought about how Mr J would appreciate having his various views and memories back when he gets home from hospital in the next day or so.

Steve, it was great to meet you on this mission and hear about your goodgym travels - very much hope you make over to Newham sometime soon!
