A class from Etchells Primary School, who participate in our Premier League Primary Stars programme, have been creating a box filled with colourful postcards and drawings, with positive messages aimed to cheer up patients and staff.
Six pupils from Class 4MM walked the short journey to the hospice, delivering the box to members of staff who greeted them in the communal garden.
Stjon Clement, School Sports Coach for CITC, has been working with the class on the project, and believes it has had a big impact on the children and their outlook on the local community.
He said: “They’ve had a really big push on helping the community within with this social action project, and it has been a massive eye opener for the children. It’s really inspiring to see how many of them are interacting with it and getting fully involved.
“This has been a massive opportunity for all of them to know how to put a smile on people’s faces, how to make people happy, and be that difference within their own community.”
