Creative Care Packages

 
 
A box full of colour gift bags, with ribbon and sparkly handles. They are all full of handmade paper gifts.

Each December, we work with local primary schools to create lovely festive care packages to distribute to isolated older people in time for Christmas.

Each pack we have sent out contained a handmade card with personal message, a winter inspired poem and some handmade decorations, as well as the festive edition of our intergenerational newspaper, The Meeting Post (click here to visit The Meeting Post page) - and of course, some fancy teabags and biscuits!

We have sent hundreds of amazing gift packs made by primary school children from Lydbrook, Steam Mills & Drybrook - so a BIG THANK YOU to all of the pupils who took part and helped create all of the festive care packages!
