We had a smashing time

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

: Sunday, 11th of November 2018

Here's what Ms B of S10 had to say about the mission:

Ms B emailed us to say 'a big thank you to the two runners who came to help her last week.' Hopefully we'll be able to send a few more runners round to finish the job but well done guys!

We met Ms B on a cold rainy day to do some much needed garden maintenance. Because of the weather, power tools were out of the picture.

Bee set to work on clearing the flower beds of weeds, and grass that had spread from the lawn. The bags were soon filling up.

James was first tasked with curtailing the height of a rather tall bush. After that, there were 3 garden chairs to be broken up. One of them easily smashed up. The other two were much more bendy and required sawing.

When we were done, and the waste packed up, we had a nice chat with Ms B. We'll hopefully be going back on a better day with a bigger group of people.

Bee ran back to town and James walked home round the corner.
