Postcard Appeal launched by Sheffield Care Home


Postcard Appeal launched by Sheffield Care Home


"Were really proud to be part of the community in Sheffield. Any help in achieving our project, would be greatly appreciated."
Julie Burdett, activities coordinator



From Faro to Falkirk, Canberra to Coventry, Sheffield to Sorrento, wherever you’re going away this year, Ladyfield House wants to hear from you.

Ladyfield House care home in Sheffield has launched a postcard appeal, to engage residents to reminisce and chat about the places they have visited and promote interest in destinations they may not have been to.


The aim of the postcard appeal is to collect postcards from as many places as possible, so they can be used to initiate reminiscence in the home about past holidays enjoyed by residents.


Members of the community are being asked to send postcards from wherever they go on holiday this summer, with a short message to the residents of Ladyfield House.


Julie Burdett, activities coordinator at Ladyfield House, said: “We’ve launched this campaign to stimulate conversation in Ladyfield House. It’s really beneficial for our residents, especially those living with dementia, to reflect on past experiences and share memories. They’ll also really brighten up our notice boards.

“We’re really proud to be part of the community in Sheffield. Any help in achieving our project, would be greatly appreciated. Our residents will love seeing all the different places people are travelling to this year. So if you have a spare few minutes, please do send us a postcard. If you’d prefer, bring it in yourself, we’ll be delighted to welcome you for a cup of tea.”

Elsie Siddal, 88, a resident at Ladyfield House, said: “Everybody used to send postcards. Once upon a time, no holiday was complete without a search for stamps or a long wait in a post office. Nowadays, mobile phones have overshadowed the humble postcard, which is a real shame.”


Cards can be posted directly to Ladyfield House, Peckmill View, Kiveton Park, Sheffield. S26 6UY

Ladyfield House Care Home forms part of Larchwood Care and is managed by Healthcare Management Solutions. 79% of Larchwood Care Homes are rated as ‘Good’ or above by the CQC, above the industry average.
