The City of Wanneroo is inviting community members to help brighten a senior’s Christmas by writing a card.

Now in its third year, the initiative has become a well-loved tradition with more than 800 cards delivered last Christmas.

Mayor Linda Aitken said the program continues to make a real difference for older residents who may feel isolated at this time of year.

“It’s wonderful to see the program growing each year,” she said.

“These cards are a simple gesture of kindness that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our local seniors during the festive season.”

“You can make your cards at home, with your school or in a community group and drop them off at the museum before Christmas.”

Cards can be made or delivered to the Wanneroo Regional Museum until 4pm on Wednesday 17 December, ensuring they reach seniors in time for the festivities.
