Residents at Richmond Villages Nantwich have recently relaunched their postcard plea, which they started just before the pandemic.
The retirement village, on St Joseph’s Way, just off the B5074, is requesting that people who are planning a holiday this year, send them a postcard from that destination.
Residents from Richmond villages Nantwich launched this initiative in 2020, and received cards from all over the world, both from individuals enjoying their vacations and those who lived abroad.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t long until the pandemic put a stop to residents receiving these postcards, however, they would like to bring the initiative back for 2023.
Due to many people in the care home no longer being able to enjoy trips away, receiving these postcards from holidaymakers helps them to recall happy memories.
In 2020, residents received several postcards from local jet-setter, Katheryn who was traveling around Tasmania at the time. She would send a new postcard every time she arrived at a new part of the island, so residents could follow her journey.
Jane Ann Stubbs, Activities Manager at Richmond Villages Nantwich, said, “Both our residents and staff loved receiving postcards from around the world in 2020, so we are thrilled to be able to relaunch this initiative again in 2023.
“We all loved hearing about other people’s travels and adventures, and it enabled our residents to recall their previous travel memories and share these with staff and fellow residents.
“Collecting these postcards brings so much joy and excitement to the village and we are thoroughly looking forward to receiving them again.”
If you have a holiday planned, whether that be in the UK or abroad, and would like to send the residents of Richmond Villages Nantwich a postcard, their address is: Richmond Villages Nantwich, St Joseph’s Way, Nantwich, Cheshire, CW5 6LZ
