NEW MADISON The Tri-Village Chapter National Honor Society (NHS) members executed Operation Christmas Cheer by delivering over 150 personalized cards to the residents of the Brethren’s Retirement Community. Two of the members are employed at BRC so the connection was extremely meaningful.
TV NHS advisor, Mr. John P. Beard, said, “The students really wanted to have an impact on our community by addressing the needs of those who may be isolated more than others. They felt that providing a message of hope and encouragement to the residents of BRC would be a great start to that impact.”

Christmas in the midst of an all consuming global pandemic was never going to be ‘normal,’ and perhaps for more than anyone at this time of year the elderly are feeling the effects. Having been isolated from family members for the best part of 2020, and huge numbers of the expected Christmas plans; fairs and light shows etc, now being cancelled, Age UK Wandsworth have made it their mission ‘to ensure every isolated older person has a reason to smile this Christmas.’ With the help of Ainsley Harriott - MBE, English chef and TV presenter, leading the press operation, the aim is for 1000 older people to receive a parcel. In order to make and deliver such vast numbers of Christmas parcels, help was enlisted! People in the borough of Wandsworth rallied together. Able to show their support through: donating £20 - the cost of a singular box, getting crafty - making masks or hand writing Christmas cards and collecting items from the supermarket.
