The UK’s leading retirement property developer McCarthy Stone has organised the festive initiative to bring joy to homeowners who are enjoying their first Christmas celebrations.

The cards have been delivered to delighted residents who are able to keep them as a memorable and touching gift from their first ever Christmas time at home in Leyland.

"Their kindness really is appreciated and to know that the children spent so much time making them is something very special. They are a fabulous memory of our first Christmas here at Balshaw Court."

Debbie Bond, Marketing Executive for McCarthy Stone Northern Division, added: “A little kindness can bring a lot of happiness and that’s exactly what we wanted to achieve with our Christmas card initiative.

"Last year, the festive period was a very difficult time for many, so spreading joy has never been more important as we are fortunate enough to be in a position where we can enjoy Christmas once again."
