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.
Dear Friends,
Our team of jolly penpals kept people company all through lockdown.
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.
“I love to read and so was very happy to get a short story in my Jolly Post and look forward to getting more.”

“I found getting my first Jolly Post very uplifting.”

“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.”
