Staying in touch
We set up our Jolly Postal Service as a lifeline during lockdown. At present this project is on pause as we are now able to meet in person.
Read on to find out what we did.
Dear Friends,
Our team of jolly penpals have kept people company all through lockdown.
If you live in Dorset and would like to find out more or register yourself or a friend for this free service you can email sarah@jollygoodcompany.com or call 07884 333117 during office hours and leave your name and postal address.
Please ask permission first before sharing someone’s address with us. We will keep all personal details secure and they will not be passed to anyone else.
For your security and privacy all correspondence will be managed through our Company Address:

Although this is a free service, we are looking for funding to support it and welcome any donations, however small, to help us cover costs. Click here to donate.
A big thank you to Coral Samuel Charitable Trust, Dorset Community Foundation, Education Services 2010, Graham Rabone, JPMorgan, Tesco Bags of Help, Waitrose Community Matters and Wimborne Dementia Friendly Community for your support in this venture.

“Dealing with the pandemic in 2020 has been tough. We have all felt the effects of loneliness and isolation as our freedoms have been curtailed through the lockdown and ongoing restrictions. Separation from close family and friends has a big influence on our mental well being. Many have also suffered losing their jobs or significant changes to their work life. During these times, it’s important that we come together to support one another, particularly those who are most vulnerable and in need. In Jolly Good Company provides that support and is an absolutely vital resource bringing people together. Now more than ever this organisation’s work is needed and I encourage you to get involved and do what you can to support.”
