Do you remember the joy of receiving a hand-written letter? 

With "Dear New Friend' we want to show care home residents that they have not been forgotten...

All you have to do is pen a chatty letter, sharing some good news, stories, jokes and perhaps a drawing, and send it to local care home, addressed Dear New Friend. If you include your address you may receive a response and gain a new pen pal! 

Staff at Antonine House, Buchanan House and Murdock House are ready to receive - letters will be quarantined for a few days before distribution.

If you can't get out to the postbox please email your 'letter' to Jane Gordon and she will distribute for you.
