Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the closure of schools around the world, it proved difficult to get any activities off the ground. Summary of the objects of the Postcard Exchange Network charity set out in its governing document The network has seen no activity over a number of years now. It didn’t take off as much as we hoped. Postcards For Peace Ambassadors Our Ambassadors are our connection to different countries and allow us to hear first hand what issues are affecting different parts of the world and how Postcards For Peace could work to help them.We suspended the recruitment of new Ambassadors in 2019, hoping to find a new way to utilise this network of like minded people. It has also proved difficult to get those Ambassadors already recruited to help us in the way they once did, partly because their lives have moved on. Postcard Design Competition Because of the global pandemic and with schools closed, we didn’t run the competition this year. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
