A new recliner
The remarkable 90 year old Mr Tasker, who worked at Huddersfield Power Station from 1966 to 1982, asked for help to buy a reclining chair. He has arthritis, angina and has great difficulty in walking any distance.
Following a recent fall, which resulted in his legs swelling, he was advised to keep them raised as much as possible. His own reclining chair had broken and was beyond repair, so he made an approach for help.
Mr Tasker is finding life much easier now as he was provided with a suitable chair.
