Letterbox Club in Scotland

Find out more about how Letterbox Club is delivered in Scotland

A primary school aged girl is sat on her bed opening her yellow Letterbox Club parcel and smiling, while her female carer watches.

The Letterbox Club in Scotland was launched following a pilot for 150 children in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverclyde, Aberdeenshire and Highlands.

The programme is now funded via subscription from individual local councils, schools or libraries. The cost per child is £152 (including VAT).

It is particularly vital that the attainment and achievement of looked-after youngsters is raised and so the Letterbox Club is a fantastic addition to the other work we are doing to help ensure children and young people in our care have better life chances.
