Happiness is making people smile. Our Year 7 pupils headed off to Tangmere to read poems to our neighbours at the Sage House Dementia Support hub.
As part of the Poetry Together initiative launched by broadcaster and writer, Gyles Brandreth in 2019, the children read poetry they had written on the theme of happiness to the residents and then chatted to them individually and showed them their poems.
“It was lovely to see so many smiles on everyone’s faces! The children benefited so much from this wonderful experience and some have asked how they can get involved in volunteering at Sage House. Many thanks to Emma and Simon who made our visit so special. We really hope to do this more regularly in the future.”
