Young and old in Malvern Link joined voices last week for some festive carol singing.

Pupils from Malvern Link Primary School met elderly visitors at Rowan House Day Hospital in Malvern Link last Thursday and filled the air with song.

The children visit Rowan House every year and have have previously attended Perrins House, also in the area, to sing carols for the residents.

Jennifer Potts, headteacher at the school, said: "We believe that it is very important for our children to take part in celebrating Christmas in the wider community.

"We have visited homes in the area for many years and the children learn much from the experience and enjoy the kindness and welcome they receive from the residents."

Following three Christmas plays, a fair and carol singing for the Mother's Union, the highlight of a busy Christmas period for the children at the school was set to be the Christingle service at St Matthias Church in Malvern Link on Wednesday.
