Donate a Letter (Young People 14+)

From Me to You

Are you looking for a volunteering role for your Duke of Edinburgh Award? Like Writing?

Every year we send 10, 000 letters to people facing cancer. Letters written by people like you. Writing for us can count as your volunteering role towards Bronze ,Silver or Gold Award. We complete your assessment at the end. Every letter needs to be at least a size of A5. Cancer can be lonely and isolating. Through your letters you will be helping to spread some joy to those who need it. You will need to write and post a letter every week. We have lots of hints and tips on our website and free online workshops to inspire you. We have a free pack to get started. Sign up on our 'Donate a Letter' page on our website here:  https://www.frommetoyouletters.co.uk/ .


What skills do I need?

All you need is a pen, some paper or a card - and a desire to distract the reader and brighten their day.
