A HOME care provider teamed up with an Earley primary school to ensure people enjoyed a happy Easter.
Bluebird Care,which operates in Reading, Wokingham, Windsor, Maidenhead and Bracknell, asked pupils at Earley St Peter’s CofE to produce cards to accompany eggs presented to its customers. The cards were decorated with seasonal images, such as bunnies and eggs, and were filled with personalised messages and Easter wishes.
They were then hand-delivered in time for Easter Sunday by the company’s care assistants.
According to Amy Purdy, a year two teacher at the Church Road school, the children thoroughly enjoyed making the cards and were excited at the thought of making a small difference to the lives of local people.
This was echoed by the pupils
Ethan (7) said: “I think it is nice that we’ve made cards for people who might be lonely this easter, it might make them feel better.”
Coen (7) said: “I appreciate the opportunity to do something nice for other people.”
And Sienna (6) said: “I feel good that I will make someone else feel happier this Easter.”
Bluebird Care said the heart-warming initiative is a testament to the power of community and the impact that small acts of kindness can have on people’s lives.
Victoria Brown, the firm’s marketing coordinator, said: “Working in care, we make a difference every day, and we are very lucky we are able to do the little extra things that put a smile on someone’s face.
“We are very grateful to all the children at Earley St Peters Primary School for making such amazing Easter cards and writing some lovely messages.”
