Postcard appeal launched by Lancashire Care Home


Postcard appeal launched by Lancashire Care Home


"Nowadays, mobile phones have overshadowed the humble postcard, which is a real shame."
Geoffrey Eccles, , a resident at Hope House



From Faro to Falkirk, Canberra to Coventry, Accrington to Acapulco, wherever you’re going away this year Hope House Care Home wants to hear from you. 

Hope House on Rishton Road, Clayton-le-Moors, has launched a postcard appeal, to engage residents to reminisce and chat about the places they have visited and promote interest in destinations they may not have been to.

The aim of the postcard appeal is to collect postcards from as many places as possible, so they can be used to initiate reminiscence in the home about past holidays enjoyed by residents.

Members of the community are being asked to send postcards from wherever they go on holiday this summer, with a short message to the residents of Hope House.

Cathy Yates, home manager at Hope House, said: “We’ve launched this campaign to stimulate conversation here at Hope House. It’s really beneficial for our residents to reflect on past experiences and share memories. They’ll also really brighten up our notice boards.

“We’re really proud to be part of the community in Clayton-le-Moors. Any help in achieving our project, would be greatly appreciated. Our residents will love seeing all the different places people are travelling to this year. So if you have a spare few minutes, please do send us a postcard. If you’d prefer, bring it in yourself, we’ll be delighted to welcome you for a cup of tea.”

Geoffrey Eccles, 77, a resident at Hope House, said: “Everybody used to send postcards. Once upon a time, no holiday was complete without a search for stamps or a long wait in a post office. Nowadays, mobile phones have overshadowed the humble postcard, which is a real shame.”

Cards can be posted directly to Hope House Care Home, 1 Rishton Road, Clayton-le-Moors, Accrington BB5 5PN

Hope House Care Home forms part of Larchwood Care and is managed by Healthcare Management Solutions. 79% of Larchwood Care Homes are rated as ‘Good’ or above by the CQC, above the industry average.
