Little boxes 🎶

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

Mrs A, recently bereaved, is disabled and has had difficultly unpacking boxes and moving pieces of furniture. I didn't know what to expect, but when I arrived to a room full of furniture and boxes piled against the walls, so much so you are unable to take a step into the room, I could 100% understand why this was a daunting task.

With only 90 minutes to make some headway, Mrs A, her career and I started making piles for items to keep, items to chuck and items to get collected by a charity shop. It was non-stop moving, and sorting!

Mrs A was super pleased with our progress and is now able to walk into the room to access her belongings to sort through which she was unable to do before the visit. I am so happy to have been of use.

I never got any photos of the job sadly, so here's a photo of my leggings and trainers...

'Little boxes' by Malvina Reynolds inspired the report title :)
