In the season all about giving, Nether Hall care home has issued an appeal, asking kind-hearted members of the public to send its residents Christmas cards.

The care home, on Nether Hall Road, has launched the Christmas card campaign to strengthen the home’s sense of community and relationship with the local area, as well as being able to display the festive cards around the home.

As part of the initiative, Nether Hall care home has asked for the public to include a short message about their plans this Christmas inside the card for the residents to read and discuss.

Arthur 89, resident at Nether Hall care home, said: “I’m really looking forward to receiving the cards and I’m particularly eager to hear about everyone’s plans. Everyone has their own traditions at Christmas, and it will be great to hear about what everyone is getting up to.”

Maxine Fearnehough, home manager at Nether Hall care home, said: “Christmas is always a fun time here at Nether Hall. The home is always full of residents’ friends and families as well as having lots of lovely decoration.

“We are all looking forward to receiving cards from our local community and can’t wait to display them around the home.”
