Students from Franklin College and residents at Cranwell Court
got into the Christmas spirit early this year with a day of
Christmas card making on 18th November.
The fifteen students who
visited the care home spent the day with residents to help them
design and put together their cards. The trip was organised between
Franklin College and L&H Homes staff at Cranwell Court.

Manager of the care home said, “Days like this help break down
age barriers and provide an enjoyable day for everyone involved. We
enjoy a good working relationship with Franklin College and often
have students visit for activity days like this or for work
experience.”
Audrey Walters (pictured) said, “I had a lovely day. It’s
really nice to have young people visit, and they were full of ideas
for the Christmas cards! I always enjoy meeting new people and
everyone who came was very polite and friendly. I’d like to say
thank you to the students and to everyone who helped organise the
day, it was great fun.”
