Newham

Mission

Treasure hunt!

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Newham.

Mr S has problems with his knees and his back garden access is through a steep and narrow staircase. So the garden had not been tended for quite a while. He was very welcoming and was glad to have help.

Initially the job looked simple from afar as you could see only a few pieces of rubbish which needed to be picked up.

However upon closer inspection, there were loads of things hidden under the overgrown weed that needed to be cleared, including one broken toy aeroplane (or potentially a drone?!), two footballs, one basketball, one tennis ball and many other things which I hadn't expected to find in a garden!

There were other things which I would have loved to clear but couldn't do so without additional tools and potentially one other person. Informed Mr S to contact the requesting organisation for further support.
