Children Urged To Write Letters Of Support To England And Scotland Players

Royal Mail is encouraging children to send letters of support to the England and Scotland men’s World Cup football teams as part of a new writing campaign.

Children aged 4-17 are being urged to write letters wishing the teams and players well during the tournament, with the aim of inspiring a new generation to rediscover the value of writing letters.

Alistair Cochrane, chief executive of Royal Mail, said: “Sporting moments like this bring people together across the country and we wanted to give children a simple and meaningful way to get involved.

“Writing a letter is a personal way to show support, and we hope this campaign encourages young people to take part while highlighting the value of sending letters.”

Letters can be sent to Freepost addresses: World Class Letters Freepost England or World Class Letters Freepost Scotland.
