The initiative was created to help elderly people in our community living in nursing homes stay connected who are unable to receive visitors during these uncertain times.
So why not send a letter to the residents in one of the Nursing homes listed below?
They love the idea of receiving all your letters, poems, drawings or what you’d like to send them. It will also guarantee you a little fun activity and you might involve your small children too!
If you’d like to volunteer please Register your Interest and we’ll provide you with the contact details to send your letters.
(Where possible try to use some sellotape as an alternative to seal the envelope and remember to keep washing/sanitizing hands).
Community is about reaching out with compassion, staying connected and sending love to each other. That’s why at An Post, you can now send love to communities living in care homes across Ireland with free postage.
An Post will ensure free delivery of all card and letter mail posted to and from residents of Nursing and Care homes in the State until December 31st 2024.
By writing FREEPOST where the stamp would normally be affixed, An Post will carry consumer cards, letters and packages weighing up to 1KG without a postage stamp. Consumers can send these items through the Post Office network and post boxes across Ireland.
