‘Plumes’ Project
GRCC’s In Touch project is joining forces with Gloucestershire Care Providers Association to link people in care homes with those out in the community by way of letter writing.
Most care homes today are places where everything is on hand to enjoy life to the full, yet even in these excellent conditions people who live in care can be lonely if they don’t have any relatives or friends nearby. These individuals would really value a letter from someone on a regular basis, just saying what generally has been going on and passing the time of day. Unfortunately the excitement of receiving a letter has all but disappeared, and the piles of paper that come through the letterbox each day are usually advertisements, bills or junk mail.
If you live in Gloucestershire and think you, or someone you know could spend ten minutes or so writing a letter to someone who would really appreciate it, can you please contact either Barbara Piranty or Vicki Hewlett on 01452 528491. We can then match you with someone nearby or further afield if you would like. In return, you will of course receive a reply! This link would mean so much to someone who has everything else except someone to keep in contact with.
