I would like to draw your readers’ attention to a project we are launching in Torridge called Postcard Pals.
This is a project which encourages people to micro volunteer by designing and writing a postcard to a stranger. I have several groups of volunteers who will be meeting to create the postcards and I now need people in the Torridge community to register as recipients.
The recipient can choose whether to receive a postcard monthly from a different stranger, or they can register to receive a postcard and to write one back. Bideford Library will provide the postcards and resources and organise the delivery and collection of the postcards so everyone’s details will be protected. The aim is to give people who may feel lonely or isolated a way of feeling connected without having to leave their home.
Sarah,
