**The details**:

- Bridge Classic Cars will embark on their second annual Mince Pie Drive on Friday 5 December
- The convoy will visit four care homes: Henley House, The Willows, Silver Birch, and Haughgate House
- A special display will be held at Christchurch Mansion between 12:00 and 13:00
- The team will distribute mince pies to staff and residents at each location

**What they're saying**: "It's such a special thing to be a part of," says Molly Harmer, Bridge Classic Cars presenter. "Seeing people's faces light up when the cars arrive or when they take a bite of a mince pie - it's a reminder of how important little acts of kindness can be."

**The big picture**: The Mince Pie Drive is part of a broader initiative to encourage community kindness throughout the year, not just during the Christmas season.

**The bottom line**: The festive initiative combines classic cars and Christmas treats to bring joy to care home residents, building on the success of last year's event.
