Letters Against Isolation

We organize volunteers of all ages to send personal, uplifting letters to seniors in care homes and community programs. Since 2020, our community has mailed more than 1 million letters in over 40 languages, helping isolated seniors feel remembered, valued, and connected.

Letters Against Isolation was founded in 2020 by teenage sisters, Shreya and Saffron, who began writing letters to seniors during the COVID-19 lockdowns. What started as a simple way to bring comfort during a lonely time quickly grew into a global movement.

Today, LAI is a volunteer-run charity connecting tens of thousands of seniors with caring letter-writers across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia. Our mission is simple: send real letters that help seniors feel more connected to the world around them. We believe in the power of small, kind gestures to brighten someone’s day and remind them they’re not alone.

How to Get Involved: Register as an individual, student, group, or educator at www.lettersagainstisolation.com. After signing up, you'll receive weekly updates and access to our online portal, where you can pledge letters to senior care facilities locally and around the world.
