Breaking the mental health stigma, one letter at a time.

The idea behind Letters of Hope is to show people in their darkest hours that there is good in the world. We want to break the stigma around mental health and truly make an impact by sending handwritten letters to people who are struggling.

We truly believe in the importance of social connection, kindness and compassion as protective factors when it comes to mental health and wellbeing.

Our Impact

“This letter saved my life yesterday, and without it, I wouldn’t be here right now”

Not only have our letters literally saved lives, but those who received a Letter of Hope are more likely to seek further help and support for their mental health, and experience a significant uplift in mood.

97% of our letter recipients would recommend Letters of Hope to anyone else struggling with their mental health and We have been lucky to reach people from all walks of life, with our letters being sent to over 27 countries so far.

We are proud to be creating a cycle of kindness, with a significant number of our letter recipients becoming Letters of Hope Volunteer Letter Writers who are now directly experiencing the therapeutic benefit of writing and sharing their lived experience.

How it all began

Letter of Hope’s founder, Abbie Williams, personally suffers from Anxiety and Depression, and has done so since her teens. When things were at their worst, Abbie didn’t know if that dark feeling would ever really pass.

Luckily, this is when Abbie looked for support and help. She slowly built the support network back up that she had isolated herself from and soon enough, found a way to live a meaningful and fulfilling life whilst managing her mental health condition. Although Abbie knew that anxiety and depression would likely be something that she would always have to live with, she started to realise that, with the right support, she could find ways to manage it to stop it from impacting her day-to-day life.

After growing up in Leeds in the United Kingdom, Abbie moved to Australia in 2017. Living on the other side of the world, Abbie’s grandparents naturally became her pen pals. She would anticipate receiving another letter in the mail and the rush of happiness that came when she received one after a tough day was amazing. It was then that Abbie decided she wanted to use the empathy and passion that she gained through her own mental health journey to do something positive for other people, and give them that same feeling.
