Give...A Few Words CIC aims to improve social connections through letter writing, events, workshops and monthly network meetings.

Volunteer letter writers share their interests and are matched with people in care homes, charities and other organisations who would appreciate some one off positive post. We have over 500 volunteers who have signed up in 2021/22 from all over Kirklees, the UK and overseas. Not just words though as people post paintings, drawings, poetry, photography, origami....any arts or crafts.

Volunteers can write as often or as little as they like. Letter writers are sent a personal thank you each time they write and are invited to regular letter writing workshops and volunteer meetings. We have a really friendly letter writing group.

Give...A Few Words also runs programmes of author and creative workshops, positive events in the community and monthly cross sector network meetings.
