Here's what Ms L of SE14 had to say about the mission:

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to the volunteers for all their help (beneficiary feedback)

Ms L of SE14, mission beneficiary

We did almost give up though. Seven drawers on runners - couldn’t put a screw wrong! Ms L entertained us with tales of tradespeople she’d had over. We won out when it came to best tradespeople as we were polite, tidy and toilet trained. Mighty job we did on the Argos chest of drawers. All ran smoothly and no wobbly knobs. Jacqueline had been doing missions all day so went home for a lie down! I ditched any grand plans I had to go to the allotment and charity shops, as I was completely pooped. Such intense focusing and screwdriving. Left with a sense of satisfaction and only a minor wooziness and calloused hand. We’ll see Ms L again for a chat and to tackle the wardrobe!
