Christmas cheer for Telford care home residents thanks to local school

With its Wild Walk development located nearby, Lovell has brought the local community together by asking children at the school to decorate Christmas cards for residents of Priorslee House Care Home.

Along with David Clissett, new homes sales consultant at Lovell, the cards were delivered by pupils to the care home residents, who also performed a number of festive carols for the residents to enjoy as part of their visit.

Lisa Preston, regional sales director at Lovell, said: “Christmas can be a difficult and lonely time of year, particularly for those of the older generation, so we wanted to do something to spread some festive kindness in the community.

“Everyone deserves to have a place that feels like home, and we hope the Christmas cards the children have designed will provide some smiles and raise spirits. The bonds between children and the older generation can be very special, and we hope the residents at Priorslee House Care Home enjoyed meeting the pupils from Wombridge Primary School and singing a few seasonal songs. Thank you to all the children who took part and for their hard work on their designs.”

Mrs Solomon, head teacher at Wombridge Primary School, said: “The children were delighted to visit Priorslee House Care Home and share some Christmas cheer with the residents. We know the festive period can be challenging for some, so we hope the cards and songs brought smiles to their faces.

“We’re grateful to Lovell for the opportunity to get involved, and the children enjoyed getting creative and decorating their cards.”
