Brighten someone's day by sending a postcard to a local care home

People across Lancashire are being encouraged to do their bit to help reduce loneliness amongst older people this summer - simply by sending a postcard.

Postcards for Kindness was initially piloted by Lancashire County Council in Summer 2018 as a way to help reduce loneliness in care home residents across the county. The project was such a success that it was adapted for the festive season and saw hundreds of people sending Christmas cards to their local care homes. Now the campaign has been launched for its second year with more than 100 care homes signed up to take part this year. Find out more here.
