Lewisham

Mission

Wheely easy

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

Samuel and I met Ms A to help her move some furniture to make room for a hospital bed.

These missions can be quite varied in terms of difficulty. We had a sofa and cabinet to move, and when we saw the distance they had to go (along with 4 sets of stairs) we were a little nervous. Luckily, both items were on wheels and surprisingly light. We were done in no time!

Ms A was grateful. Before she left she told us about the days before night buses, when she and her friends would walk from Victoria to Lewisham in the early hours after a night out. Suddenly my trip home to Peckham at 1pm didn't seem so bad!
