Christmas Presents for the Elderly


In our monthly meeting on Saturday 9th of December 2017, we spent the session gift wrapping Christmas presents we bought for the elderly residents at Elsley Court. In the lead up to the meeting, we worked as a team to buy a range of Christmas presents which included gorgeously scented candles and beautifully packaged lotions and soaps as well as many other types of gifts. During the meeting itself, we wrapped these presents and wrote Christmas cards for each and every resident, hoping to bring a smile to the elderly during the festive season. We were delighted to see that the residents were pleased with their gifts and many residents were in disbelief to be receiving Christmas presents.
