Partnership with Age UK Cornwall

We are absolutely thrilled to announce we have teamed up with Age UK Cornwall to help combat loneliness and social isolation by donating monthly hampers to some of those who need it most.

This initiative has been warmly welcomed by Age UK Cornwall who work closely to support isolated and lonely individuals within Cornwall, not just the elderly, as many might believe.

As a business born out of a desire to revamp the hamper industry, supporting the wider community is integral to us at Letter Box Hamper. Reaching out to Age UK Cornwall was a natural decision, as we all wanted to spread some warmth and joy, even in these most challenging of times.

We made the first delivery of hampers last month to Age UK Cornwall who selected their ‘Step into Wellness’ programme participants as the first receipients. The 'Step into Wellness' idea has been designed to assist those on a journey to better their mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. Completely free, the scheme combines conversation-based sessions with activities, each exploring with the individuals ‘what matters to them’. Alongside this, the programme widens connections as well as friendships, improving health and self-confidence.

Our initial hamper drop at their Liskeard based group was greatly received with one recipient truly overjoyed at the surprise treats which she said “have really made my day.” It is precisely this sentiment that we placed at the heart of our business, unexpectedly brightening someone’s day and showing them that they truly matter.

As Tracey Roose, Chief Executive of Age UK Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly explains “"We are extremely proud to work with organisations that share our core values, and this ongoing partnership with The Letterbox Hamper Company will support our mission to improve health and wellbeing throughout Cornwall. These gorgeous hampers will be delivered, by our wellbeing teams, to local community groups and individuals who are socially isolated. These wonderful 'gifts of kindness' are very impactful and show people that they are not alone, they are valued, and that they matter."

Our next surprise hamper donations will be delivered to the Age UK Cornwall Newquay and East Cornwall groups.

We will also be joining them at next month’s Royal Cornwall Show, so pop along and see us if you're attending, we would love to see you there!
