How can I be a #postpoet ?
1. All you need to do is to select a template (see the 3 our lovely Jason has made for you below), download it and print.
If you don't have a printer then simply write on something you already have at home.
Just remember to sign off as the #postpoet and include the link www.ngyt.co.uk/postpoet for more info.

2. Write out your poem - It's a challenging time for many at the moment so we encourage you to spread some joy and hope through your words. Keep it positive and appropriate and make someone smile.
3. Lastly - Pop it through a letterbox. This could be your neighbour, someone you know who is struggling or maybe someone who lives on their own. Please make sure you follow Government guidelines regarding social distancing.
