GoodGym York - Older person practical household or garden tasks

GoodGym is a community of runners, walkers and cyclists who combine getting fit with supporting older people and community projects.

They carry out practical tasks in the home or garden for people over fifty who can no longer do such tasks for themselves.

Examples of tasks carried out by GoodGym York include:

• changing light bulbs
• food shops or prescription pick ups
• moving heavy items of furniture
• assembling flat-pack furniture

Any required tools must be available at the property.

Request practical support for an older person from GoodGym York.

Goodgym also offers social visits. They are a 30-60 minute visit to an older person’s home, purely for friendly conversation to ease loneliness. No additional tasks will be performed during these visits.
