Packing a punch

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

Ms H was a little embarrassed with how much stuff was in her flat, which needs to be cleared out for when she moves in a few weeks time. (Hence we didn't take any photos of the flat). She has been having back problems and not feeling well and was feeling overwhelmed at how to start tackling it. We helped her make a start on the hallway, to give some more room for access into the flat, including being able to open the front door properly. Under Ms H's instruction we binned a lot of rubbish, packed things that she wanted to keep and moved some of these to the storage room next to her flat in preparation for the move. Ten bags of rubbish later there was more room to move into the flat, and to open the door, and Ms H was feeling more positive at being able to do a bit more clearing herself. But there is still a lot of clearing and packing to be done before the move so she hopes that some more GoodGym help will be available before then.
