Christmas card cheer wanted for Bupa care home residents across Leeds and Yorkshire
Sunnyview House in Beeston, Wykebeck Court on York Road and Elmwood Care Home in Oakwood are three Leeds Bupa care homes amongst those in Yorkshire asking for Christmas cheer messages for residents.
The care homes are asking for communities to send Christmas cards to residents which will be placed around the homes for everyone to read so they know people are thinking of them.

The messages of goodwill are hoped to bring comfort and joy to residents during the festive period.
Home manager at Broomcroft House Bupa care home, Luke Owens, said: “The tradition of sending and receiving Christmas cards at this time of year is one many of our residents have always enjoyed.
“It is the best way of spreading Christmas cheer and keeping connected to those near and far.

“At Bupa, we do everything we can to ensure residents have a fun-filled Christmas. However, for those who are unable to see their families or who don’t have any relatives, it can be a difficult time.
“If we can get enough cards so that each resident has the joy of opening something during the festive season, that would be really special.
“The Yorkshire community has really come together this year so we’re hoping the same spirit can help rally lots of Christmas cheer. In these unprecedented times, a show of community support like this would really boost everyone’s spirits and make it an even merrier Christmas.”
