SPREADING festive cheer for the holiday season, leading North West housebuilder Lovell Homes has chosen the winners of its magical Notes to the North Pole campaign.
Local schoolchildren and residents were asked to write letters to the North Pole sharing what they enjoy most about the holidays and how they plan to spend time with friends and family.
More than 60 youngsters dropped letters off at festive post boxes across three of Lovell’s latest housing developments – Spinners Quarter in Salford, Eden Park in Middleton and Shawbrook Manor in Leyland.
As well as being a fun community campaign, one letter from each development was selected to win a £100 M&S voucher.
Anne-Marie O’Doherty, regional sales director at Lovell Homes, said: “It’s been wonderful to hear about and see children from our development areas getting involved in this special campaign. We wanted to bring a sense of magic and joy to the communities we are working in, while also encouraging participants to reflect on the true meaning of this time of year, including friendship and family.
“We are so pleased to have also been able to extend some festive fortune – especially given the cost of living crisis – by offering M&S vouchers to the writer of one letter per development.”
Forming part of Lovell’s commitment to local communities and getting residents involved, the letters asked children to get into the spirit of the season by writing to the North Pole, sharing what they enjoy most about the holidays and how they plan to spend time with friends and family. Children were also given fun, festive activity packs to keep them busy with a wordsearch, maze and more.
Liz Darnell, headteacher at St Anne’s Catholic Primary School in Leyland, said: “It’s lovely to have been included in this festive campaign with Lovell – it has allowed the children to get creative and think about different or shared experiences in their communities.
“All the children thoroughly enjoyed visiting the development to post their letters and have even got activities to keep them busy during their winter break.”
