The Lakes Care Centre reconnects with old friends by sending homemade cards
Send a card to a friend day on 7th February reminds us to send a friendly cheer through the mail. The Lakes Care Centre did this by sending cards to friends old and new.
Throughout the year, we often think about our friends, we wonder how they are, miss them, and remember fond memories of times shared. So, what better way to reconnect with them than by sending out homemade cards.
The residents made beautiful cards by painting on card, leaving them to dry and then cutting them out to make mosaic tiles. Then they used those tiles to decorate the cards they were sending.
The cards were then sent to the local school, to the local community members and to friends of the residents.
Annie, Activities Co-Ordinator, said, “The residents really enjoyed this activity, it was also a great opportunity for residents to reconnect with the local community and old friends.”
