Here's what Mr C of IG1 had to say about the mission:

Feedback from the referrer: "thanks to the volunteers that helped with the task."

Mr C of IG1, mission beneficiary

Ms C is looking forward to Mr C coming home again, but for that to happen there needs to be enough space in the front room for a hospital bed.

So Goodgym got asked for a helping hand to put a single bed upstairs and a large 3-seater sofa outside.

The bed found its way upstairs in parts as a warm-up before tackling the sofa. It would have been too easy if the large window opened, or the doorframe would have been bigger than the sofa... but it found its way outside! Thinking ahead, Ms C did ask us to place the sofa in such a way that it would leave space for a carer to park, something likely needed soon once Mr C is home!
