Here's what Mr E of NR3 had to say about the mission:

The referrer has just contacted us to say "Thanks so much for doing this - a small task, but it made a huge difference to this gentleman." Good work Angela.

Mr E of NR3, mission beneficiary

An urgent mission to get bread and milk for Mr E was listed this afternoon – he had just come out of hospital and needed the basics. As luck would have it, I was data crunching and working at home today and so signed up, as the venue was really close.

I rang Mr E who said his neighbour had already dropped by with some milk, but he still needed a loaf of bread. After questioning him, his preference was for a small, brown loaf and "something of good quality like Warburtons." So, there you have it, it’s official......Warburtons = quality!

I’d already done my planned run today, so I opted for a quick cycle to-from his home to save my dodgy knees. The bread was delivered safely to his door in a flash and mission was complete.
