A pen pal group between primary school students and residents with dementia at a care home has helped the latter to “relive [their] childhoods”.
A group of eight to 11-year-olds at Holgate Primary and Nursery School and residents at Runwood Homes in Nabbs Lane, Hucknall – both in Nottingham – have formed close bonds through letter writing and one-hour sessions, which incorporate activities including arts and crafts, playing cards and reading.
