Packing a punch for Mr P

Subham and I came together at short notice for a GoodGym community mission to support Barnet Council’s Wellbeing team.

Mr P was being transferred to more suitable accommodation to better support his needs, and he needed help boxing up his belongings ready for collection on Monday. We met Mr P, along with others involved in his care, and quickly got stuck into the task.

It was a simple but useful job: packing clothes and personal items carefully so they could be moved on smoothly. As ever with GoodGym, we also managed to combine helping out with a bit of exercise — I cycled over and Subham ran from home, making it a very local active mission.

Afterwards, we stopped for a drink at a nearby Italian café and reflected on how small practical actions can make a real difference at moments of change.

We hope Mr P settles well into his new home — and that he does not have too much trouble finding the clothes he needs when he gets there!
