Penpals at Crewe care homeResidents at HC-One’s Hollymere House care home are excited to have started receiving penpal letters from people within the local community, so much so that they have been creating their own responses.

Each letter was read individually by a Resident, and they each then set out to write their own responses, asking questions to the sender and telling them about themselves.

Colleagues then visited the local post office alongside one Resident who offered to help take the letters to be posted.

One Resident was so excited, as she remarked: “It’s such a coincidence that my penpal is from the same area that I grew up in, it brings such a smile to each of our faces to receive a letter.”
