Our #WritingBack#penpals have enjoyed writing to one another again during 2019-20, with 50 returning older pen pals paired with 47 students. Particularly during COVID, putting pen to paper is a great way to still maintain contact✍️✉️. Find out more here: https://t.co/pSjfaRLJok.

A few more to add to the collection! And amazingly all different I think. Thank you to everyone who sent them. Pretty aren't they. #ChristmasCards 😊📮❤️
I treasured the letters my grandmother would send to me when I was a young girl...
Continuing the tradition with my granddaughters! #letterwriting#grandma
As students begin arriving & returning to @UniversityLeeds, they'll once again be putting pen to paper & writing to older members of the community. Many of the intergenerational #penpals continue to stay in touch after graduating, leading to lifelong friendships. @LeedsGloCo
We were delighted to hear that one of our @LeedsGloCo#penpals recently visited @CrossGatesGNS with a friend to meet her older pen pal & their members. Her older penpal said: It was a delightful time: the two Chinese girls mixed very easily and got on really well with everybody.
