Denis found himself in a terrible situation following a severe stroke in 2022 at the age of 61 years. He had led an interesting and varied life and more recently was a solo transatlantic sailor but the stroke left him paralysed on his right hand side and with very little speech. Although all his friends agreed he had capacity, the Authorities argued otherwise and he unluckily landed in the hands of Social Services. He suffered the most terrible of ordeals which I am not allowed to detail and was quickly rinsed of everything he ever worked for. For the purpose of keeping this 'Shout Out' short and relevant, Denis moved into an unfurnished property in Falmouth in November 2024. He had nothing apart from the clothes on his back. Hidden Help gave countless household items to furnish his new pad from cutlery to bedding, table lamps to a microwave. The assistance was invaluable and Denis was soon living comfortably and independently. I cannot thank Judy, Wendy and the team of volunteers for their kindness. Should anyone be looking to rehome decent household items, please do consider Hidden Help so others like Denis can benefit.
