Special delivery helps spread the joy as kids deliver cards to Cork nursing homes

It was a special Christmas delivery which proved it’s better to give than to receive during the festive season.

Kind-hearted school children spent yesterday delivering their own hand-made Christmas cards to the elderly residents of nursing and care homes across Cork.

The 223 pupils of St Patrick’s boys national school on Gardiner’s Hill in the city have spent the last month making hundreds of cards, each adorned with a personalised message.
