What started as a few Christmas cards has now led to a lasting relationship between a primary school and a care home. In December Kirkbride Primary School youngsters were tasked with sending cards to the residents of Inglewood Care home in Wigton – and the whole school got behind it, sending in dozens of cards. Now the school and home have started to exchange letters with residents, with children becoming penpals. Asda in Carlisle chose Inglewood to be its Christmas Community Charity and they involved Kirkbride School to join in and write personal cards to all the service users. Home manager Audrey McKay said: “The service users really enjoyed receiving the letters and we are over the moon to have been chosen by Asda to be their charity.”

Kirkbride Primary School have tried to make things as normal as possible for the children, especially so this Christmas organising festive activities for them to take part in. As the school couldn’t put on a nativity performance they decided to put together a video. Headteacher, Dawn Maxwell, explained; “We’ve got an outdoor classroom and each class dressed up and we had a live animal, a calf, that came onto the screen.
