About the Letterbox Club
Once signed-up by their local authority or school, each child receives their own colourful parcel of books, maths games, stationery every month for six months. For many children, it's the first time they have had a letter or a parcel through the post and for some it's the first time they have had books of their own.
How to sign up
Registration for 2019 is now open! Local authorities and schools can enrol children for The Letterbox Club. Each participating child gets six colourful parcels of books, number games and stationery - one per month. Plus, register now for your chance to win an author visit!
Children say thanks on the 15th anniversary of Letterbox Club
We receive some wonderful feedback from the children and adults. For our 15th annniversary, we're celebrating with some of our favourite hand-written postcards from children who receive Letterbox Club.
Local Authorities
Letterbox Club parcels can inspire a love of reading and engagement with numeracy for vulnerable children in your area. Local authorities can use Pupil Premium Plus for children who are looked-after and Pupil Premium for other vulnerable children, to fund Letterbox Club
Schools
As well as children who are looked-after, the programme is suitable for other children you think would benefit.
