A special ‘Thanks' postcard is being delivered this week free of charge to all Gibraltar addresses.

The idea is for children and families to send a postcard to someone within Gibraltar who would appreciate receiving such a card. It is up to individuals to choose who this someone could be; maybe a relative or friend working on the COVID-19 frontline, a grandparent staying at home or a team of people or business doing an exemplary job during these exceptional times. The list is endless!

To send the postcard all that needs to be done is:

1. Write a friendly message on the card

2. Fill in the name and address of the recipients (no stamps required)

3. Insert them in any postbox while out on your daily exercise or essential shopping.

Postmen and postwomen will deliver these postcards free of charge to any local address.

The Government says it would love to see photos of postcards that have been received and is encouraging people to upload them on social media using the hashtag #thankinggibraltar

The Minister with responsibility for the Post Office, Vijay Daryanani said, “This is an excellent initiative as it encourages people to keep in contact with those who are in lockdown or to thank those who are on the frontline. It also gives me the chance to thank the staff of the Post Office who are not only working hard during these difficult days but, with this initiative, are actually volunteering for this extra work!”  

Postcards will also available to pick up free of charge from the Post Office, all Express Shops, Risso's Daily, GibOil Petrol stations and Morrisons Supermarket
