Part of their new community focus initiative, the project will allow people to send post to loved ones in nursing homes free of charge.

An Post has just launched a new community focus initiative that will allow people to send free post to loved ones in nursing and care homes across Ireland.

Saying that “in staying apart, we’re coming together”, the scheme aims to look out for the elderly and most vulnerable members of our community. All you need to do to avail is write FREEPOST in the space where you would normally put a stamp.

Other services offered within the initiative include a newspaper delivery service, free mail collection, personal check-ins, discounted parcel delivery for SME’s and dedicated arrangements for DEASP payments.

A message on the An Post website explaining the new project writes:

“In staying apart, we’re coming together but we know that it’s hard. That’s why we’re doing what we can to keep local communities connected.

From opening local post offices to checking in on vulnerable people, delivering newspapers and so much more in between, we’re doing our little bit to make it easier for you to stay connected. And for a limited time, we’re giving away two stamps free with every #SendLove stamp booklet.

Post Offices remain open with Send Love stamps available at all branches and online.”
