Ilfracombe nursing home residents receive handmade Christmas cards from local school pupils

Edenmore Nursing Home in Ilfracombe recently received handmade Christmas cards with personalised messages from pupils at Ilfracombe Junior School as part of their Christmas card campaign. The campaign serves the purpose of building relationships within the community and spreading the joy of Christmas.

Residents, who are fondly referred to as family members, spent the morning opening their handmade Christmas cards and reading the beautiful messages inside. With the smell of mince pies filling the room and the rustling of envelopes, the family members were eager to read what was inside.

Home Manager, Gayle Cooper, watched as each family member opened their card and said that “Family members loved opening their cards and reading their messages inside. It felt like it was Christmas day already”
