Pen Pal Initiative - Barchester Marriott House & Lodge

Date: Monday 01 Feb 2021 – Sunday 28 Feb 2021

Organiser: Barchester Marriott House & Lodge

Marriott House and Lodge have been helping to combat loneliness and isolation for some time through the post cards of kindness initiative. We have had an amazing response over the past year and have many regular pen pals and regularly receive and send postcards as part of the ‘postcards of kindness’ initiative.
Marriott House and Lodge Care Home would like to help prevent social isolation in any way they can and are looking for pen pals of all ages! The aim is to help individuals in the home and local community to feel connected.

We are looking for pen pals of all ages, its amazing how a simple letter, short story, poem or even a photo or drawing can brighten someone’s day. The residents of Marriott House and Lodge will then spend time relying during social activity sessions.

We are happy to receive things via post which can be sent to Marriott House and Lodge Pen Pal Initiative, Tollhouse Close, Chichester, PO19 1SG or you can email us directly to MarriottHouse.Activities@barchester.com

We are welcoming new residents into our homes to ensure that we are there for those that need care and support and have a very clear admission policy and infection control protocols that must be met. Please do give us a call on 01243 536652 if you are looking for care or need any further help.
