Poppy has a list of names of every resident at Saffron Gardens and will be spending the next few weeks creating letters and drawings for each and every resident at the home. She’ll then post her letters and cards to Brunelcare, where Unit Care Leaders on the wings will distribute Poppy’s crafts.

Francis De Villa, Care Home Manager at Saffron Gardens, said: “Our residents are looking forward to receiving their cards and drawings. It’ll really put a smile on their faces. We have over 48 residents on the wings at Saffron Gardens, so Poppy is going to be hard at work! We wanted to say thank you to Poppy, this will mean so much to the residents.” 

Sophie, Poppy’s mum, said: “I’m so incredibly proud of her. She's very in tune to the bad news in the press at the moment and how this is affecting older people. She asked if she could draw some pretty pictures and letters to cheer them up, so we went out and bought lots of supplies!”
