About the Letterbox Club

Children are enrolled for the Letterbox Club by local authorities and schools.

Each child receives their own colourful parcel of books, maths games, stationery and other high quality materials once every month for six months, usually from May to October. 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.

Key benefits:

• Children feel 'remembered' and are excited about receiving their parcels
• Carers/families and their children spend more time together reading and playing games
• Children read to others and share books
• Children have increased confidence in reading and number 
• Parcels are delivered despite placement moves and give continuity to the child 

The Letterbox Club is also suitable for a range of children who might benefit, such as those on the edge of care, or as part of post-adoption support.

Local authorities and schools can use Pupil Premium Plus for children who are looked-after and Pupil Premium for other vulnerable children.

Letterbox Club parcels are delivered to participating local authorities and schools, who then post them to the child's home address each month, or give them to the children they have enrolled in school. Local authorities can also choose direct delivery to foster homes, if that is a preferred option. There is a charge for postage.
