'Send Christmas cards to prisoners overseas


Our Christmas Card Scheme is now open for 2022! By sending in handwritten cards for British prisoners overseas you will be helping to provide great comfort to those we are supporting around the world...


For British prisoners overseas, Christmas is often a time when hope is furthest away, with the arrival of the festive period being a painful reminder of how removed they are from family and friends. We are currently working with many hundreds of British prisoners who are facing spending Christmas alone in prison overseas, thousands of miles away from their loved ones.


Prisoners Abroad’s Christmas Card Scheme helps to reduce the isolation felt by British prisoners around the world at this particularly lonely time. This year’s scheme will be as important as ever because, although prison visits from abroad are now possible again thanks to the loosening of travel restrictions, the rising cost of living may mean that these trips are simply not viable for many of the family members we support.'

    • I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards 
    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
