Newark Advertiser campaign gives children a chance to send a special lockdown message to their grandparents
Do you have special grandparents who are really missing their grandchildren?
We're launching a campaign this week to allow you to let them know the kids are thinking of them.
The coronavirus outbreak and social distancing measures are forcing families to spend extended periods of time apart.
Many grandparents have not seen their grandchildren in over a month and it could be several weeks, or even months, before generations can be safely reunited.
Your family may have even had a tiny new addition, and siblings now a new younger brother or sister, that grandma and grandad have yet to meet or maybe even see.
We are offering families the chance to send a personal message from the grandchildren — free of charge — to the grandparents they are missing, complete with a photograph of the children.
We will print a selection of them in a very special pull out in our newspaper and also run them on on the Newark Advertiser website.
Please send your short message and one jpeg image of the kids via news@newarkadvertiser.co.uk as soon as possible — and don't forget to include the names of children, where they live and their ages.
