    Awww such a great idea, thanks for sharing that with us, I'm constantly online so sending some emails to cheer them up seems a great plan, don't really know what to say though to be honest, so I might have to have a think first or i'll send cards thats a good idea.

    Hello Leight, thank you for wanting to make some of the kids smile. Just talk to them like you would any other child their age (or their mental ability age which will be noted on their page). I find with cards I often talk about something related to what ever picture is on the front. Also with the older ones I talk about things like Britains got tallent, or you can write about your life. One lady doesnt send post herself, but her dog writes letters about family life and the kids love hearing from a poodle! A teddy bear and garden gnome have also written in the past!

    ok, not sure if my emails are getting through, so I'll wait till my partner comes home as she's far more pc savvy than I am : ) Hopefully we'll get it sorted out.

  • Hello,
    Just wanted to say what a fantastic idea this is,:T and will be making cards tosend to a few of them (wish I had time to send to all of them). I too though am struggling with what to put?! Can someone give me some ideas please? I like the thought of them coming from teddies etc, (or maybe in my case one of my 11 rabbits which are currently running riot in my garden!) but not sure how to go about it. Please help me I want to brighten some days!
