Find out about GoodGym TaskForce

Report written by Helen Killingley

Share the love

Emma, Gosia and Helen met with the eager Occupational Therapists Mark and Ade on Wednesday after lunch, fuelled and raring to go - some having travelled from the other side of the river, others - the other side of the road!

First we had some quick introductions about their job as occupational therapists and we told them all about GoodGym - they’d only found out about us yesterday!

We headed to Mrs E’s flat. She’s been in hospital just short of a month and this was the final stage before she could come home, hopefully today!

Briefed by Mark we got to it...

Step 1: move the bed to make room for her chair. Step 2: move her chair into her bedroom (definitely a challenge - pivot left, pivot right, lift up, twist round). Team work breeds success!! Step 3: get a tv in her room (we tested, moved some furniture to find a plug and set it up with some DVDs all ready).

Job done. Success. We bid farewell and went off in our different directions.
