Silver Readers is an initative that started in Covid between Marriot Primary School pupils and the residences of the Cedar House carehome. Pupils from the school have been calling residences over the phone at care for two years to read them stories, but they have never met in person. Sophia Hartley went along to their first ever meeting.
