Local Authorities

Thank you to all local authorities across the UK for participating in 2011. With your help, close to 4,500 children received 27,000 Letterbox Club parcels.

Sign up for 2012 is now closed but there are limited places still available. Contact us to find out how you can still subscribe.

The Department was very impressed with the scheme which was why we funded the expansion of the initial pilot and we are delighted that this scheme has now expanded into the secondary phase with the recent launch of Letterbox Green (for those aged 11-13).
