This exciting letter-writing project is back. Each week, participants will receive a letter from a well-known writer which they are encouraged (but not obliged) to respond to by return post. At the end of the project, those who participated are invited to meet with the author and reflect on the project. For 2026, bestselling author and journalist Edel Coffey will join the project, and we are delighted to welcome back the Women's Group in Connect Family Resource Centre, Moneymore.
