The Old Vicarage Care Home Opens A New Chapter as Residents Partner with Tesco for Book Donation Drive

The residents of The Old Vicarage Clay Cross have embarked on a heart-warming initiative to foster community engagement and support their social fund. Over the past months, they have been diligently collecting donations of unwanted books, and now, in partnership with the local Tesco store and its Community Group, they are ready to share the joy of reading with the wider community.

In a remarkable display of solidarity, the residents have collaborated with Tesco Clay Cross and its Community Group to make their book donation drive a resounding success. Today, they proudly delivered their collected books to Tesco Clay Cross, where they will be showcased throughout the month of March. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Tesco and its Community Group for this wonderful initiative,” said Natalie, The Wellbeing Lead at The Old Vicarage. “Their generosity in providing us with a stall in their entranceway for the entire month of March is truly heart-warming.”


Indeed, Tesco Clay Cross has graciously allocated a dedicated space at the entrance of their store for the residents’ book stall, allowing shoppers to peruse a wide selection of donated books and find their next captivating read. All proceeds from the book sales will directly benefit the residents’ social fund, enriching their lives and fostering a sense of community spirit.

The collaboration between The Old Vicarage Clay Cross and Tesco exemplifies the power of community partnership and collective action in making a positive difference. By coming together, they are not only promoting literacy and a love for reading but also enhancing the well-being and social connectivity of the residents.

“We invite everyone to visit our book stall at Tesco Clay Cross throughout March,” encouraged Norma, a resident at The Old Vicarage. “Your support will enable us to continually enjoying meaningful social activities and enriching our lives together.”
