Christmas card workshop for Teesside teens and elderly

TEESSIDE teenagers and the elderly have been getting into the festive spirit with a Christmas card workshop.

 

The young volunteers spent time at The Gables Care Home, in Middlesbrough, running a card-making arts and crafts session.

 

The independent community safety partnership, Safe in Tees Valley organised the activity for their National Citizenship Service (NCS) members.

 

Ten volunteers, aged 15 to 17 years old, spent a day at the home working with the residents.

 

One of those, Dominic Horner, also dressed as Father Christmas to help spread the festive cheer.

 

Resident Mary McLean said: “The children were really nice. It was lots of fun making Christmas cards with them.”Christmas card workshop

 

Chris Churchill, home manager of The Gables Care Home, on Highfield Road, said: “The residents thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the young volunteers.

 

“Our thanks go to the Safe in Tees Valley NCS for visiting and running a really engaging and interesting arts and crafts session.
