Children deliver cards to combat Christmas loneliness
A widower was "choked up" to receive one of thousands of handmade Christmas cards sent by schoolchildren to residents of care homes.
Peter, 82, a resident at Cwmaman Care Home in Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, lost his wife a few years ago and said "this time of year always brings it back and can feel lonely".
"So seeing the children and receiving a card really helps," he said.
The festive deliveries are made to help ease loneliness for people in care homes in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil.
About 17,000 people over 65 in Wales will not have anyone to exchange cards or presents with this Christmas, according to Age Cymru.
