Gordon's New Chair!

Donations here at The Whitechapel Centre are very much appreciated and always put to good use.

Recently we were given a wonderful electric/orthopaedic chair and a shower stool via one of our most stalwart supporters.

A gentleman had recently come on to our Resettlement project had just moved into a property and had almost no furniture to put in it

Along with his he was suffering from various health and mobility issues, he particularly struggled when sitting, and then standing, and also with standing for long periods in the shower.

His support worker Carole spotted the chair just as it had been delivered, and knew that it had his name written all over it!

Carole arranged for it to be delivered to his home address, and along with volunteer Jonathan made sure that it was safely delivered and set up for him in his new living room, Gordon couldn't stop smiling.

When Carole next went to visit Gordon he couldn't stop raving about his chair, he said it was "Just the job!"



Gordon happily sitting in his new chair.

The chair is so comfortable he can even fall asleep in it, and the shower stool took away his fear of falling when getting washed.

Here at the Whitechapel Centre we are always thrilled to receive donations and they come in all shapes and sizes.

This particular story has had a very happy ending, with Gordon's home life being much improved.

Thank you to all those that make donations, and a special thank you to the previous owner of this wonderful chair.
