The Viva! snail mail and email pen pal service for young veggie and vegans

Now that you’ve read the safety guidelines, here’s how you get writing. If anyone on these pages sounds like your cuppa tea and has a  by their name, drop them a line, plop it in an envelope with a stamp on it and their V number and name. Then put that envelope into another one and send it to: Write to Reply, Viva!, 8 York Court, Wilder Street, Bristol BS2 8QH and we’ll forward your letters. Your name and details will be taken off the list after 12 weeks from you applying. But no worries, if you haven’t got yourself a stack of pen pals by then, you can always apply again!
