Write to your school, its governors, trust or council
Each supporter finds their own school, or their child's, by name, town or postcode, from the official registers of every open school in the United Kingdom, and ticks who hears from them. NewsCord holds each school's published contacts, so nobody types an address.

How it is delivered
Only an address the school, its trust or its council published is used, read from the official school lists or from the school's own website. A school with no address on file still appears in the search: the supporter gets the finished letter and the school's website and phone number, and sends it themselves. A school letter carries the supporter's name and email, never their home address. The letter is held rather than sent, so the supporter can send it from their own inbox first. We dispatch only what they did not send by the deadline, which is fifteen minutes by default, and opening the draft extends it. The recipient gets one letter from a real person, not two. The greeting is rebuilt in code with the name the lookup returned, in the campaign's own wording, so no letter leaves addressed to a placeholder.
