Send a letter this week

Are you missing spending time with your friends?  Even your colleagues?  Put a smile on someone’s face by sending them a personal letter.

You could write to relatives you’re not able to see at the moment to remind them that you’re thinking of them.  Some people write to prisoners so you could find yourself a new pen pal.

Tell them how you’re feeling, tell them what you miss about them, tell them a joke or something funny that’s happened in your home.  You could send them a recipe for their favourite pie.  Write a poem – it could be sensitive or silly.  Is your Mum a hero?  Write her a letter and tell her why.  Just send a letter this week.
