Pupils from Tividale Community Primary School have reached out to Residents at Ryland View with heartfelt letters of support.
Just before the pandemic hit, a group from the school was scheduled to visit the Home and take part in a selection of fun activities.
However, when the first lockdown was put in place, the plans had to be placed on indefinite hold, which was a shame for both the school and Residents.
But although they hadn’t met yet, the big-hearted pupils decided to reach out anyway and wish Residents well.
Activities Co-ordinator Julie Robinson said that as soon as it’s safe to do so, she’s hoping to get a date in the diary for the children to visit.
Julie said: “The Residents adore children, and they light up when we have young visitors.
“It was a real shame we had to cancel, but it’s exciting to plan what we can do together once the Tividale kids can pay us a visit.
“The letters and cards they sent were incredibly kind, and they took the time to introduce themselves.
“When they finally make it here for a visit, we’re excited to start building friendships and getting to know each other with some gardening, crafting and many other activities.”
