Here’s some guidance for working as a group to send letters out across the whole country
- Select a post code area such as HP13 (It is possible to search the group chat for mentions of the postcode area you are thinking of)
- Decide whether to start with schools, GP, pharmacies, vaccination places, other
- Claim that area for yourself and in doing so you’ll give others a chance to say “already doing that” or perhaps, “I’ve written to the schools there but nothing else there yet”. Do this ‘claiming’ by typing, “I can do / I claim PE2 Schools” or perhaps “I can do / I claim NG4 Schools, GP and pharm”
- Keep a record of each address you are sending to.
- Find letters at www.sharewellness.co.uk/letter or www.sharewellness.co.uk/letters and perhaps find other good letters and leaflets to include.
- It is essential everyone knows about the adverse reactions so be sure to print that page.
- Print whichever other pages you believe will help.
- Write your own cover letter if you want / perhaps add a name and address at the top of the printed page(s)
- It may be best to find names of teachers, managers, doctors, nurses, else maybe start with a general letter to be opened by anyone at that address – you need to guess which is best.
- Address an envelope, seal and make a note of delivery method and date it is posted or hand-delivered.
- Let the group know how you are getting on with messages such as “CF32 GP Done” – In general more detail is better for encouraging others and avoiding duplication.
- Follow up is important. Initially we need to know if they have read and understood the letter(s)
- Next, follow-up to find out if they are changes what they say and do.
