The arrival of the first 'Postcards of Kindness' brings great excitement
The team at Avonbourne recently signed up to the Postcards of Kindness initiative, where people are asked to write and send postcards to care home residents. While it is something small in a person’s day, when the postman brings a postcard it sparks great joy and prompts great discussions amongst our residents.
The cards started to arrive at the end of January with some including a return address so the residents can write back. Pat, one of our residents, particularly enjoys creating art and loved the mindfulness card that she could put her personal touch on before sending back.
Our residents would love to receive more postcards; whether you write about your holiday, living your everyday life, or something wonderful that happened, all postcards will prompt an 'I remember when...' discussion. If you would like to be involved in the initiative, please visit the Facebook group page, where it gives details of how to send the postcards to Avonbourne Care Centre.
