Welcome to Tendring Pen Pals!
We are a fresh, modern project which have been bringing like-minded individuals together and creating friendships through the art of letter writing since 2020.
If you’re reading this, you clearly have a love of writing, snail mail, forming new friendships and a belief in the power that a handwritten letter holds.
Our programme is governed by a strict safeguarding procedure. Every letter is checked by our team before it is passed on, keeping all involved protected via use of our PO Box which ensures that no personal information is being shared between writers.
We have five exciting projects for people of all ages and abilities to take part in and our site is full of useful hints and tips as well as help sheets to download.
If you have any questions, please Contact Us.
The words written in your letters are important. Thought, compassion and love have been put into every sentence. Letters are important, and your written words hold a great deal of sentiment.
In a modern, digital world that's so focused on speed and technology, a letter that has been handwritten over a cup of tea, with slow and gentle consideration, has never been so powerful.
“There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t yet met.”
William Butler Yeats an Irish poet who won the Nobel prize for Literature in 1923.
