Letterbox Club is Ten Years Old

This year we are celebrating 10 years since Letterbox Club began in Leicester as a small pilot programme.

We will begin by marking the occasion on 13 June at a conference to be held at the University of Leicester in partnership with Booktrust. This will then be followed by an event at the Literary Leicester Festival on 10-12 November.

Over the summer between June and November we would like to invite local authorities throughout the UK to get involved and hold their own 10th Anniversary events. We will have merchandise, banners and books available, so please let us know if you would like to join in the celebrations.

Events already planned by local authorities in the UK include;

15 May - Newport - LAC Awards

25 May - Anglesey - Literacy Event

11 June - Brent - Foster Carer Training Day and Letterbox Celebration

13 June - Doncaster - Carers Forum

15 June - Wandsworth - Celebration of Letterbox Club

15 July - Dorset - Foster Carers Fayre

2 September - Doncaster - Annual Book Day

5 October - Cheshire - Letterbox Club Celebration
