Coronavirus: Send free lockdown messages to grandparents

Do you have grandparents in the Newmarket area who are really missing their grandchildren?

We're launching a campaign to allow you to let them know the kids are thinking of them.

The coronavirus outbreak and social distancing measures are forcing families to spend extended periods of time apart.

Many grandparents have not seen their grandchildren in over a month and it could be several weeks, or even months, before generations can be safely re-united.

Your family may have even had a tiny new addition, and siblings now a new younger brother or sister, that grandma and grandad have yet to meet or maybe even see!

We are offering families the chance to send a personal message from the grandchildren - free of charge - to the grandparents they are missing, complete with a photograph of the children.

We will print them all in our edition on Thursday, May 7.

Please send your short message and one jpeg image of the kids via email to the newsdesk.

To enable us to print your children's wonderful messages to grandparents please send your words and pictures to us as soon as possible - and don't forget to include the names of the children it is from plus where they live and their ages!

Please email your child or children's message to: news@newmarketjournal.co.uk
