Many hands make light work

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.

Anna and I met on a chilly Saturday morning to squeeze one last mission in before Christmas and help to move a bulky recliner chair for Mr R to prepare for when he is discharged from hospital. We thought the job sounded much trickier than it actually was - as with two of us lifting, it was done in a jiffy! A super quick mission but one with great impact as we could see how difficult this would have been without a couple of people to help out. We’re both really hoping that Mr R gets discharged in time for Christmas
