The Kindness Postbox is a community-focused project based on the idea of bringing little bursts of happiness to those most isolated and affected by difficult times in our society today. Through the Loneliness Network in Mid and East Antrim Council area, there are partnerships helping to connect generations and reduce isolation.

The scheme encourages children to write a cheerful letter, draw a picture or find an uplifting card or postcard and post it into a Kindness Postbox.

The letters are then collected and distributed to residents of local care homes. Every card, letter, poem, picture and drawing goes a long way to brighten someone’s day. There are Kindness postbox partnerships in the Borough of Mid & East Antrim and Camphill PS and Camphill Care Home have created a partnership where the pupils will deliver some pieces of work to put a smile on the faces of the residents in the Care Home.
