St Albans Postboxes Team are raising money for Herts Mind Network and Cancer Hair Care

Our story
Back for our sixth year, yarnbombing the postboxes of St Albans and the surrounding area. Woolly Christmas magic supported by local businesses and the local community, who have raised over £100 000 for local charities since December 2018.
All the #stalbanspostboxes toppers are made with love, imagination and possibly some swearing, and at no cost, by volunteers.
Business sponsors generously gave their money.
Admin, emails, phone calls, helpers, web designers and hosters, map artists, app designers, photographers, Facebookers, bloggers, Instagrammers, all donating time and expertise behind the scenes.
We choose charities for the work that they do locally and for the wide range of people they support in and around St Albans.
ALL money received for the topper sponsorship is paid direct to the charities. Admin and support is provided by Clare and team at Atlas Translations; and Candy Stuart and Lucy Dronfield co-ordinate the fabulous volunteers on the yarnbombing team – who work practically all year!
Thank you for checking out our page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Herts Mind Network and Cancer Hair Care.

Wow, £9000 of donations now!
Delighted to have some of our regular supporters on board again, with a number of new ones joining the postbox fun.
We still have a few toppers left that need businesses to sponsor them, so don't delay if you've been considering it. £100 donation secures a topper for your business, your group, your street, or your family!
