Helping seniors feel seen and valued – one note at a time.

How it all started

Older Australians account for almost one-quarter of people living alone around the country, and many are feeling isolated, anxious, and vulnerable.

In 2020, the ‘1,000 Notes of Friendship’ campaign was launched because we wanted to impact 1,000 lives and let seniors know they matter.

You know how it feels when you get a surprise letter in your mailbox. It makes you feel pretty special, right? That’s exactly how these seniors felt when thousands of community members joined the movement.

Notes were sent to over 1,000 clients nationwide, we quickly reached our target, and the feedback has been so fantastic, we aren’t stopping there – our Notes of Friendship program is here to stay!

We want to reach as many isolated seniors as possible and continue the amazing legacy 1,000 Notes of Friendship started.

Anyone is welcome to send in their note of friendship, we’ve been working with individuals, early learning centres, schools, and workplaces to create beautiful notes of friendship for seniors.

So, join us! Put your pen to paper, and let’s tackle loneliness, one note at a time!

Here are some of the messages we have received from our seniors

Here’s how you can help

We want your help to send beautiful notes of friendship to Australian seniors to show them we care. It’s the personal touch, from one human being to another. Who knows what difference a simple gesture could make?

Here’s what to do

  1. Take 5 minutes to write a beautiful note of friendship (request a pack of cards, or see our note writing tips).
  2. Return your note to us as soon as you can, at:
    Notes of Friendship Campaign
