Here's what Ms P of N5 had to say about the mission:

"Thank you so much for this task! Amazing work, I really appreciate it and will make such a difference for this person." Feedback from the referrer.

Ms P of N5, mission beneficiary

On the evening after Valentine's it seemed somewhat appropriate that we spent most of this mission discussing dates...although in this case these were numbers stamped onto tins, boxes, bottles and packets belonging to Ms A, who asked us to help her clear out her food cupboards of anything that had clearly exceeded its best before date and then re-arrange her most important food items within easy reach on her cupboard shelves.

A few black bin bags later, and one cardboard box full of non-expired food items that Ms A made very clear to us that she didn't want filling her cupboards any longer, which we were then able to "donate" to a nearby office building, we'd completed the task and the cheerful Ms A seemed delighted with our efforts.

In the true spirit of (the day after) Valentine's we did her washing up too.
