Hi, Post Pals asks people to send some cheerful post to seriously ill children and their siblings, it could be anything from a little gift ordered from amazon to a picture drawn by your child. People on the MSE competition board have kindly been sending unwanted prizes for many years now. The app free prints cards will even let you send a card for free without postage atm. The families love to receive post and put the post in quarantine for a few days before giving it to the child so it doesn’t pose an infection risk 😃 The website is www.postpals.co.uk


Best wins in 2013 £200 and Mini iPad. 2014 no wins. 2015 2 nights 5* hotel with £300 vouchers plus £1150 Harrods gift card
