Position Overview & Specifications

Our Pen Pal service allows volunteers and registered carers to post hand-written letters between each other. Our trained Pen Pal volunteers are matched with a registered carer who exchange letters with one another on a regular basis, some matched write weekly, however our expectation is to write monthly. This service provides support for carers at a time of loneliness as they may be spending a lot of time caring for a loved one, or it could simply provide a much-needed boost to their wellbeing. You are free to write about whatever you feel is appropriate (weather, TV, events, poetry, books, sport, etc.) and full training is provided.
