As our Community Service programme for this year draws to an end, pupils from the Wulugu Group visited St John's House care home to deliver the gifts they made as part of the care home's Forget Me Not project, which raises awareness of dementia. 

This year, due to Covid-19 restrictions, pupils have been unable to visit residents in care homes as they usually would. Instead, pupils in the Wulugu group have been creating handmade gifts to give to residents to lift spirits and show that they care.

The gifts included hand-painted plant pots and plants, decorated glasses cases and embroidered handkerchiefs.

Although pupils could not go inside the care home to speak to residents, they were able to wave through the windows and hold up signs. They also delivered letters and cards from another community service group.

The gifts were gratefully received by the residents at St John’s House and we look forward to the day when pupils are able to spend time with the residents inside again.
