More designs have been added to the range of greetings cards being sold in aid of Waverley day centre in Kenilworth.

The first cards went on sale in May last year, with the first pieces including a duckling and a robin.

The cards come with the work of local artist John Straw who has donated the pieces to help raise money for the Waverley. 

Now, he has donated another piece to add to the collection with a "lovely mouse" design now available for purchase.

The duckling and the mouse are available in a pack of 10 notelets costing £5, along with a Christmas card which is sold singularly for £1

Waverley is "beyond grateful" to the businesses who are selling these in their premises for it.

"Without their support we would not be able to raise vital funds to support us," the centre said.

You can purchase them from Kenilworth Books, Treehouse Bookshop, Castle Home Luxuries and Charlotte.

The charity continues to thank John and also Berkeley House for sponsoring the first print run of the mouse.

Waverley has been providing food and friendship to older citizens in Kenilworth for over 40 years. 

"There are so many benefits to getting out and about and feeling part of what is going on," the team said.

"Waverley members come together to enjoy a two-course lunch and a variety of activities surrounded by staff and volunteers.

"For many of the members a visit to Waverley has become part of their weekly routine, something to look forward to and new friendships made. 

"Why not consider giving a visit to Waverley a try or maybe you have elderly relative or neighbour who might enjoy the experience. "

Transport is available within the local area - spaces permitting.
