Care home puts children’s messages of support on billboard
The billboard is on a roundabout in Hindhead.
A care home has put children’s messages of support on a billboard to spread cheer around the local community.
The Huntington and Langham Estate in Hindhead, Surrey, recently put out a request for artwork and other examples of creativity from local children to help raise residents’ spirits given the current coronavirus lockdown.
Having received dozens of pieces of artwork, the home wanted to extend that positivity back into the local community and commissioned a billboard to do so.
Measuring six metres by three metres, the billboard stands at a roundabout on London Road in Hindhead.
Director of Huntington and Langham Estate Charlie Hoare said: “Our call for artwork received a tremendously positive response, so we felt it only right that we projected that positivity back into our community.
Earlier this month Joan Blacker, who lives at the home, celebrated her 100th birthday with family despite the lockdown, using FaceTime to connect with her many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren via a video-call.
