Postcards of Kindness is an initiative that asks people to write and send postcards to residents of care homes. And while it’s a small gesture, the resulting deliveries bring a great deal of joy and spark lively conversations among the older people who receive them.
We visited a care home in Essex where residents read through their Postcards of Kindness, full of good wishes and tales of adventures.
