No, unfortunately we’re unable to accept individual registrations for security reasons. At this stage, Senior Pen Pal Club is only open to organisations.

Letter-writing is a great activity for seniors looking to stay connected with the community. Find out how to get started.
Join the Senior Pen Pal Club

If you’re connected to a club or organisation (perhaps a staff member, volunteer or resident) for over 55s, we’ll put you in touch with someone from another organisation for seniors. You’ll work with them to organise groups of pen pals to start exchanging hand-written letters with each other. This initiative encourages people to make new friends, through the sharing of stories and experiences, at a time when human connection has never been more important.
You can register for free at any time by filling out the form below, and we’ll be in touch within two weeks.
Please note that The Senior Pen Pal Club is only open to groups and is not available for individuals at this stage.

Our templates give inspiration for pen pals on what to write about. Download blank letter templates that they can write on and send.
