Dear Christmas Friend 2025

We’re so pleased to be able to bring back this lovely opportunity to add a little cheer to the life of an older and/or vulnerable person spending Christmas in their care home or in hospital. It’s a wonderful way of letting people know they haven’t been forgotten. Simply write a letter, draw a picture or send a card (maybe all 3!) to someone and brighten their day. Check out the guidance notes to help you decide what to include and enjoy spreading a little happiness between now and Christmas.
