A little Bulldog spirit.

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

Mr R has limited mobility, and met us at his door in a wheelchair. He was able to clearly explain to us which items he needed moving out of his bedroom, so that enough space could be created to allow him to put a bed in that room and give him, and his friendly Bulldog who seemed keen to help us, a bit more comfort.

After a little spatial awareness testing trying to judge doorway widths, Ana and I got to work in shifting a sofa, bedding, some pieces of wood, a wheelchair and a table into an area around the back of Mr R's flat so that the council could come and collect the items. Thankfully the doors did prove wide enough, and after checking a few times with Mr R which items he wanted disposing of, we soon had today's task complete. Mr R, and his happy dog, both seemed pleased with our efforts!
