At the coalface of a GoodGym task
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.
- Saturday, 20th of January 2024
I walked over to meet Mrs F to help clear out a cupboard where there has been a leak from a pipe so that a technician can have access to fix it. The cupboard was actually the old coal cupboard with a chute that opens up right next to the front door so that coal could be delivered into the home many many years ago. There was at least a decades worth of items in the cupboard (we were able to date it as we found some old drinks with a best before date on) and a lot of it was dirty and damp. Mrs F and I chatted away whilst I got to work. I filled up lots of rubbish bags and although most of it was ruined, there were a few items we were able to save like a useful toolbox, an extension lead and some brand new winter boots! Thankfully the communal bins were nearby and I managed to deposit everything before I left. Now that the cupboard is empty hopefully Mrs F can get the leak fixed.
