You’ve got mail! PenPal program connecting people we support

Gladstone and Ayr L&L teams have kicked off a PenPal program for people we support, strengthening connections across our services, and it’s already proving to be a huge hit!

Led by Site Manager, Katie Cantlay and the dedicated Gladstone and Ayr L&L teams, the program encourages people to write and send letters to other sites, promoting literacy and building friendships. Each fortnight, they pick a new site to write to, with everyone eagerly waiting to receive responses in return.

“Angela particularly enjoys heading to the post office to mail the letters – it’s become a special part of her week!”

The initiative is entirely participant driven and has been so well received that it’s sparking excitement and stronger relationships across the board.

If this sounds like something your site would love to join in, it’s easy to get involved. Sites can manage the letter exchanges themselves and access a list of site addresses using the search function on our website.
