Care home staff are launching an appeal to make this Christmas Day as special as it can be.

Staff at the Red Rose, Farndon, and Red Roofs, Newark, care homes are appealing to young and older people everywhere to design and create the most festive Christmas card they can make and send it in to the homes.

Manger of Red Rose Diane Watson, said: “We want to keep the momentum going after the difficult year we’ve all had, and this is a great opportunity to do just that.

“We’ve had a tough year and want to bring as much joy back as we can – and we know that our residents and staff will enjoy receiving creative cards from people and children of all ages.”

Trish Smith, manager at Red Roofs, said: “It would be fantastic to receive as many cards as we can – home-made or not. We know it’s a busy period for everyone but to spare a thought for our residents through art would be wonderful.”

Send a Christmas card to Red Rose Care Community, 32 Brockton Avenue, Farndon, NG24 4TH, or Red Roofs Care Community, 35a Grange Road, Newark, NG24 4LH.

Please do include your name and location as they’ll be posting some images of the cards on their social media channels.
