Green letterboxes

INNOVATIVE & COLLABORATIVE

Social isolation and loneliness are serious, yet underappreciated public health risks that can lead to depression and speed up cognitive decline in older adults.

​

​For this reason, we are working in partnership with Reach Out, Hertfordshire to ensure that our boxes are given to socially isolated older across Hertsmere, Watford & Three Rivers and surrounding areas.

​

Our Green Letterboxes suit recipients of all abilities, including those without an outdoor growing space. 


To enquire about any of our green letterboxes please email michelle@greenconnections.co.uk
