Fountain Pens UK 2023 Advent Auction

Organised by From Me To You

Fountain Pens UK 2023 Advent Auction is proud to support From Me to You as they continue their work to alleviate the isolation & loneliness of a cancer diagnosis by sending cards and letters to patients.

Cancer patients often feel socially isolated as friends drift away unsure of what to say. Letters are a wonderful way to keep people connected at a time when they feel most disconnected. Our events help people to find the courage to write, either to friends or for our Donate A Letter campaign.

Story

Fountain Pens UK, a vibrant community of over 4500 enthusiasts, is deeply passionate about using fountain pens, and exploring various paper and card mediums. Our group not only cherishes the art of writing but is also committed to fostering this passion in others.

This year, we are delighted to support From Me To You - a cause that resonates strongly with our group's love for penmanship and correspondence - with our 2023 Advent Auction.

We are incredibly grateful for the generous donations received from numerous retailers, manufacturers, and supporters. Their contributions have been instrumental in our fundraising efforts, significantly aiding the cause we hold dear.

With your help, From Me to You can continue their work supporting people with cancer who may be feeling lonely, isolated and disconnected from society - this Christmas and long into the future.

£3.75 puts stamps on five letters being sent to cancer patients receiving treatment at home.

£10 pays for the postage to send a pack of 20 donated letters to cancer patients in hospital.

£10 pays for a letter-writing kit for a new writer. Our writers generate, on average, 11 letters a year. Every year we deliver 10,000 letters.
