To help their residents stay cheery and connected, The Granby Care Home in Harrogate would like to invite you, your pupils or anyone you know in the community to be a brighterkind Postcard Pal!

They would love you to send drawings and postcards to their care home to share with residents at the home. It could be a drawing or little message, something about your hobby, interest, favourite food, pets, animals, travels – almost anything goes. Your cards and creative work will be shared with all the residents living in the home.

They will then share photos of their residents (where they have consent) with schools and their community contacts so that you can see the happiness the postcards and drawings bring!

Just send drawings and postcards to:

The Granby Care Home
Granby Road
Harrogate
HG1 4SR

For schools - please advise children to include their school name. They can include a first name (if you feel this is appropriate) but not their full name please.

Thank you in advance for any postcards of happiness sent into our home.
