Lots more lovely post has been winging it's way to our friends at Guinness Care in supported living in Swindon!

We've been sending all sorts - cards, art work, and photos from GoodGym community missions and we've been getting creative with the envelopes too with stickers and even some doilies made into rainbows!

Residents are still shielding and we've heard from them that the letters are helping them to feel more connected to the outside world while social activity is on hold. Health and Wellbeing Coordinators at Guinness Care work hard to bring together local communities and generations through intergenerational projects, and we're very happy that this letter writing task is one of those projects.

We hope the letters brought some cheer and are a reminder that although we haven't been able to visit to help out with their gardens, we are thinking about them and looking forward to visiting just as soon as we can!
