Are you an estranged, care-experienced or orphaned student/apprentice or recent graduate? Then this pen pal exchange is for YOU! (UK/Ireland). As long as you are over 18, it doesn't matter what age of student you are or level of degree. We welcome further education all the way to PhD students!

If you provide us with your name, email/address and a bit of info about yourself, we will do our best to match you with someone who shares similar hobbies and interests. Once we have matched you with a pen pal, we will send you both an email so you can get started with writing to each other. We will then delete your information off our Google Form for your privacy although we may contact you directly by email to ask how you're finding being a pen pal. It may take us a little while to match you as we try to match people with similar interests and also take into account any requests you may have e.g. around a same-gender match.
