Send prisoners some holiday cheer!

The Prisoner Correspondence Network, run by People Against Prisons Aotearoa, is holding our seventh annual Holiday Card Drive! We’ll be sending holiday cards to hundreds of incarcerated people all across Aotearoa. Christmas can be a very dark time in prison, and receiving a holiday card can make a world of difference.

As a community-led, volunteer-run organisation, we rely on the support of ordinary people to get this important mahi done. We don’t have big donors or government grants, but we do have the support of our incredible community.

We expect to send around 2,000 cards to 350 people in prison this year, with our projected running costs for 2023 looking to be around $6,000. Producing and posting cards to this many people costs a lot of money, so we rely on your support to ensure that these costs are covered. We will also be supporting the efforts of community coordinators and volunteers all around the motu with financial assistance for venue hire and kai.

Every dollar counts, so please help us to run this important project.
