Santa-grams are being delivered to elderly people all over town as part of a campaign to share some festive joy. Cards, pictures, letters and poems from schoolchildren, businesses and local organisations have been collected by Home Instead Senior Care and put into 400 parcels. “It’s amazing to see the incredible thought, generosity and care put into each individual letter, poem, picture, donation and so much more, said engagement officer Rachel Jannaway. “We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of donations contributed to our Be a Santa to a Senior Santa-Gram campaign. In a year where older people may have had to spend a lot of time at home we can’t wait to bring some festive cheer to their doorstep.
ELVES were spotted across Swindon collecting donations to bring some festive cheer to elderly people. Staff at Home Instead Senior Care Swindon & Vale of White Horse have been visiting schools and businesses as part of its Be A Santa to Senior Santa Gram campaign. Business development manager Toby Kirk told the Adver: “We invited schools and businesses to get crafty and create cards, drawing and other crafts that would fit in to an A4 envelope, to be posted or hand delivered through the letterboxes of our local elderly population. “Normally we would have collected donations of gifts and presents that we were able to deliver to seniors across the area.
