Mission

The art of hiding a bed

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

  • Peter Van Tongeren
  • Ernestas Jegorovas-Armstrong
 
Friday, 2nd of February 2018

On a chilly Friday morning 2 Goodgymmers braved the cold and assembled at location to disassemble and remove a bed. Notwithstanding the lack of a caretaker to direct & supply tools, once the manager had the door unlocked Ernestas & Peter got stuck in clearing the bedroom in anticipation of a hospital bed coming in later in the day so the resident could come out of hospital & recover further at home. Some tools borrowed from a nearby work van meant the job was done successfully and in close to record time, with the bed frame & mattress disappearing behind the seats in the living room.

A quick goodbye to a very busy but grateful manager and off we went again into the chilly Hackney air.
