Neighbourhood switch
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lambeth.
- Wednesday, 4th of March 2020
As the theme tune goes: "Everybody needs good neighbours". Ms C had suffered a bad fall in her flat, but thanks to her excellent friend and neighbour Ms A, the phone had been moved within reach, so she was able to call for help. After a stay in hospital, she is now very keen to return to home comforts, so Ms A rushed back from work in the pouring rain to let Freddie and me in to do some furniture shifting. We moved various items from the bedroom and reconfigured the room so an armchair and some kit could be brought in from elsewhere. Ms A also checked the fridge and we did some hoovering while we were about it. We left after 45 minutes, satisfied that the flat was set up ready for Ms C to safely return. "Neighbours, should be there for one another. That's when good neighbours become good friends."
