"I narrated life on the outside - on the things he can't experience himself." One way #lockdownletters bringing joy and comfort to writer and recipient. ow.ly/a2D850Au0zG @writing_back #connect
We loved hearing from #WritingBack #penpal, David Smith, a trustee @CrossGatesGNS, who was inspired by his international, student penpal to write an article for @TTSLeeds's magazine: fliphtml5.com/hzcqx/siax. @LeedsGloCo #Endloneliness #Snailmail
Our #WritingBack #penpals have enjoyed writing to one another again during 2019-20, with 50 returning older pen pals paired with 47 students. Particularly during COVID, putting pen to paper is a great way to still maintain contact✍️✉️. Find out more here: writingback.co.uk.
Such a wonderful story of letters and gratitude but means even more to us as our letters go to #cancer patients @NGHnhstrust , delivered by #Northampton's award winning charity @uk_tlf ✍️💌🙏 ow.ly/1PLU50A5RHG #gratitude #letters #Fridayfeeling

Good news story alert - we were put in touch with a local school teacher Kim at Northcote primary @NorthcoteSch and the class made letters to some of our clients in isolation, not just that they gave us food boxes as well. Acts of kindness that stop you in your tracks 👏🏼👏🏼

I treasured the letters my grandmother would send to me when I was a young girl... Continuing the tradition with my granddaughters! #letterwriting #grandma
As students begin arriving & returning to @UniversityLeeds, they'll once again be putting pen to paper & writing to older members of the community. Many of the intergenerational #penpals continue to stay in touch after graduating, leading to lifelong friendships. @LeedsGloCo
A great oppprtunity to make a difference through #letterwriting in Lancashire. #Snailmail

We were delighted to hear that one of our @LeedsGloCo #penpals recently visited @CrossGatesGNS with a friend to meet her older pen pal & their members. Her older penpal said: It was a delightful time: the two Chinese girls mixed very easily and got on really well with everybody.
Sounds good - a similar "pen pal" idea (letter writing) in Leeds is run by @writing_back 😀

Its wonderful to see school children enjoying the joy of writing and receiving a letter. A really interesting project to instigate amongst an age group who almost never write a #letter these days #cursive #analogue #writealetter #snailmail 💌🐌 tes.com/news/schools-l…
After 8 years at @UniversityLeeds & 5 years running @writing_back, I'll be leaving Leeds on Friday for a new role in the Operations team at the Manchester Cancer Research Centre. #WritingBack has grown from 28 participants, inspired by my grandma's #letters to 180 volunteers (1).
