Chichester care home calls out for Christmas card cheer
Church Farm Bupa Care Home in Chichester is asking the local community to send in messages of festive cheer to residents and staff this Christmas. Receiving a Christmas card is a great way to boost morale, wellbeing and a sense of belonging, which is why the Bupa care home team in Chichester is calling on their local community to help spread some joy and rally a sense of togetherness during the festive period. Hoping to make residents feel more connected to their local community, the cards received will be opened and placed around the home for everyone to read and enjoy.

It’s a small gesture of kindness which would have such a positive impact, providing residents with a great sense of warmth, support, and togetherness – the ultimate definition of festive cheer!”
