Ling Design, which is based in Bath, visited Rush Hill Mews Care Home earlier this month to spend time with residents and support them in writing and sending Easter cards to friends and family.
Taking part in the visit were studio manager Simon Russell, purchasing coordinator Alister Foy and designer Jess Watson, who arrived with a selection of Easter cards and treats for residents and staff.
During the session, the team sat with residents as they wrote personal messages for loved ones. For some, the practical side of sending cards can be difficult, so Ling Design also helped by addressing and posting the cards, covering the cost of postage to make sure each one was sent.
The event gave residents the chance to enjoy conversation, take part in an Easter tradition and stay connected with people close to them.
Simon Russell said: “Spending time with the residents at Rush Hill Mews is always incredibly special.
“Helping them write their Easter cards was a simple but meaningful way to connect and share some seasonal joy.
“There’s something timeless about sending a handwritten card—it really brings people closer together.”
The company said the visit was enjoyed by everyone involved and provided a welcome break in routine, with stories, laughter and creativity shared throughout the session.
Ling Design hopes to continue its relationship with Rush Hill Mews and is already planning to return later in the year for another festive visit.
The activity also supports the Greeting Card Association’s #Cardmitment campaign, which celebrates the tradition of sending and receiving cards and highlights their role in helping people stay connected.
It also builds on the success of the GCA’s Caring at Christmas campaign, which encourages people and businesses across the UK to help care home residents keep in touch with loved ones through greeting cards.
