Wigan care home Residents enjoy new pen pal initiativeResidents at HC-One’s Westwood Lodge care home have enjoyed recently taking part in a pen pal project in the home.

The project is in partnership with children from the local Atherton Primary School, as they kindly began writing letters to the Residents, sparking conversation about their feelings towards the current situation.

The letters were most appreciated by Residents as they enjoyed reading them and began writing back responses to the school children.

Everyone looks forward to hopefully receiving responses back from the children again soon.

One Resident remarked: “I’ve really enjoyed receiving the letters, it’s been lovely to get involved in writing back to the children and hearing their thoughts on life at the moment.”
