PRIMARY school pupils in Chard have been writing letters to care home residents. Residents at Yew Tree Cottage Residential Home, Hornsbury Hill, have received letters from students at The Redstart Primary School. The letters are being sent to spread some intergenerational joy during the Covid-19 pandemic. Sarah Amrbridge, owner of Yew Tree Cottage, said the residents were delighted and thrilled to receive the them. It has put a smile on their faces, she said. The letters all had outstandingly neat handwriting and some of the stories were fabulous, in particular stories about pets and siblings. It is a wonderful a wonderful surprise and we are extremely grateful for the sentiment at this difficult time.
