Here's what Mr C of L3 had to say about the mission:

Feedback from the referrer: "Thank you very much Good Gym and your amazing volunteers, who are managing to help ‘keep things going’ locally and definitely restoring peoples faith in their community and the people around them!"

Mr C of L3, mission beneficiary

The day has been a bit like the bus analogy of none coming along for ages and 3 turning up at the same time. And so it was with Missions for Good Gym. We haven't had that many and then 3 came up yesterday at short notice. With not much notice given and with time on my hands I was able to do all 3 and what an amazing day it was helping out.

This Mission felt a little bit like an episode of "Treasure Hunt". I didn't have a lot of time, (well that's my excuse most times I do Mission's) and so drove to this one. I was found out though as there was no parking nearby and so I ended up having to park over 1k away and run down to collect the money and list and then run to a nearby store and run back.

It was lovely to be able to help Mr C, who basically wanted some vegetables. A massive thanks to T, the concierge where Mr C lives for writing out a list of things Mr C wanted, and putting the items in a bag when I returned and taking them up to Mr C, together with the change and receipt. So, I actually got some proper exercise in for a change. Awesome to be able to help out the vulnerable by giving up a few hours of my time.
