Did you know that it is Loneliness Awareness Week from the 5th to 11th of August?
To help combat loneliness and encourage friendships, our team has implemented the “Letterbox Project”.
The project is a national pen pal program using beautiful handwritten letters to provide support and connection to people all over Australia.
The company BCA has partnered with has assured us that they will screen all letters to ensure complete safety. Participants are asked to complete a Personal Bio form to register which helps the company to pair people up with like-minded individuals (if this is your preference).
If you would like more information or to register for the National Pen Pal Program, please contact the BCA Housing and Community Support Team on P: 4783 3744, E: bca@bcaburdekin.org.au or visit the Support Centre at 130 Queen St, Ayr.
