Clearing Space, Restoring Peace for Ms R (wk2)
Ms R has been struggling since losing much of her independence due to a terminal cancer diagnosis and the debilitating side effects of treatment. Support from volunteers in decluttering her flat and sorting through her belongings would have a profoundly positive impact. Creating a clearer, more organised living space would not only ease the physical challenges of navigating her home but also provide emotional relief, reduce stress, and improve her overall sense of wellbeing. A decluttered environment can foster greater calm, dignity, and comfort, helping her to better manage daily life despite the limitations imposed by her illness.

Before GoodGym I always lost motivation to stick at running or the gym but now I run two or three times a week.
Running with GoodGym is great because I get fit, do good and get to hang with a load of awesome people.
