This term, the Letters Against Isolation Club, run by two Lower VI students, Grace W and Aurelia, has been working to bring a little extra joy to residents in local care homes over Christmas.

Together with the students who attended the club, they wrote and decorated dozens of Christmas cards, each one personalised with a friendly message to brighten someone’s day. The aim was simple: to remind elderly residents that they are cared for and remembered, especially at a time of year that can feel lonely.

Students spent time choosing colourful papers, adding hand-drawn illustrations, and writing messages that felt warm, cheerful, and genuine. It was a lovely sight to see students from all years join in, as well as some teachers, to help spread Christmas cheer and bridge the gap between generations.

As the holidays approach, the club hopes that these cards will bring comfort and joy to the people receiving them, especially those who may not have many visitors. The project has also encouraged students to think about the importance of community and the impact that even the smallest acts of kindness can have, which is especially relevant as the school’s Focus Fortnight theme is kindness.

Thanks to everyone involved, the collection of cards is now ready to be delivered, carrying a little bit of festive spirit from our school to care homes across the community.
