Through a strong community link that Mrs Wheatman has built over the last few years, Wings School Cumbria and AgeUK teamed up to bring some springtime happiness to local elderly residents.
Most of the receivers of these flowers have been unwell, are living alone or recently lost loved ones. The idea Mrs Wheatman had was to bring some happiness to these elderly residents through notes of kindness from our young people. Many of the young people designed and painted images of spring flowers which Mrs Wheatman then made into bookmarks. The plants and the bookmarks along with the notes of kindness were then delivered to AGEUK Kendal to distribute.
The plants were so gratefully received and the manager of AGEUK commenting by saying "you really won't ever understand how much these will mean to our clients, some are so lonely, and this will bring them such joy."
