    Hi just bumping this up as I believe it's a great way to do something small but make a big impact. I've been sending post for a couple of months now, it takes minutes to write a card stick it in an envelope and post it. Trying to get my husband to start writing and am trying to work out how I can help these wonderful people.

    Give it a go and make a difference

    Just bumping this up - considering lots of people are buying extra copies of Glamour magazine for lipglosses - was thinking some of the older postpals may appreciate spare copies as little surprises in the post :) x

    great idea!! Thanks for posting this!

    *bumpies*
  • omg omg omg, what a fantastic idea.

    So cost effective and yet what a buzz for the children.

    I have a lump in my throat after reading about the little girl undergoing chemo and crying her little heart out until she opened some post and confetti stars fell out................ah bless her!

    Sod the moneysaving ideas, time to make a seriously big donation, life is too short afterall.
    I'm on a mission next week to buy up little gifts, I knew those free royal mail stamps would find a purpose!

    Thank you so much OP for posting this. :T
