About The Event
Come along for a lovely morning as we write letters and make cards, which will be given to people who are living with cancer and children who are in hospital, to help bring a smile to their face. The letters will be given to a project called "From Me to You" and the cards will be given to "Cards for Bravery"
Donate A Letter is a programme that aims to reduce the social isolation and loneliness so often associated with cancer. Receiving a letter or card, even from someone you don’t know, can bring a connection and sense of comfort at a time of difficulty. From Me to You exists because two people, our founders Alison Hitchcock and Brian Greenley, found a new kind of connection and hope in the form of letters despite being relative strangers. Through letter writing workshops, our Donate A Letter programme, and hints & tips on how to reach out to your family and friends, we aim to reduce the social isolation and loneliness so often associated with cancer. www.frommetoyouletters.co.uk
Cards for Bravery is an organisation dedicated to brightening the days of hospitalised and seriously ill children mainly through the distribution of handmade cards. This makes a huge difference to these children through their most tough and isolating times. Beginning through the distribution to one hospital, we have grown over the years to delivering cards to hospitals and children all over the United Kingdom. So far, we have distributed over 30,000 cards and we aim to be able to do even more! www.cardsforbravery.com
