Coronavirus: Isle Of Wight Youngsters Creatively Support The Elderly
By Iona Stewart-Richardson
Youngsters on the Isle of Wight have been supporting the elderly through the lockdown by getting creative and staying in touch - the old fashioned way.
Students from three Island primary schools have been making cards, writing letters and creating paintings for elderly care home residents.
Before the lockdown, some of the youngsters spent their Friday mornings lessons alongside residents from three Isle of Wight care homes.
