It’s that time of year again - it’s time for St Albans Postboxes December 2021! Youth Talk desperately need funds to provide more counselling sessions for those who need them
Now in its 4th year, this fundraising campaign run by volunteers promises to be bigger and better than ever - and that’s saying something after their incredible 2020 campaign raised over £26000. This year the team are raising vital funds for ADD-Vance - a Hertfordshire based charity that supports families affected by ADHD, Autism or a related condition and the professionals who support them - and Youth Talk - who provide free, confidential counselling to 13-25 year olds who live in the City and District of St Albans. Demand has risen phenomenally during the pandemic and is showing no signs of easing.

All the #stalbanspostboxes toppers have been made with love, imagination and possibly some swearing, and at no cost, by volunteers. Business sponsors have been identified and generously gave their money, and prizes! 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. None of this would be possible without our fantastic, talented, creative and dedicated team of creative magicians. This year the team at DigitalJen are coordinating all the making/assembly. As always, all our creative miracle workers donate all their time and materials. We have craft clubs, WI’s, community groups, individuals and friends working together – this is a huge effort by some many people! Organiser Clare Suttie says: “This year is going to be incredible - with lots of new toppers, more toppers than ever before, new businesses on board sponsoring toppers - we are very excited at Postboxes HQ!”
