Mail Trail for Hospiscare 2025

The Hospiscare Mail Trail is back - and it's bigger than ever!

Launching on 23 May, the team of crafty volunteers will be spreading the woolly joy to the postboxes of Exmouth as usual – and are also planning to include Budleigh Salterton, East Budleigh, Woodbury, Ottery St Mary, Exton, and Lympstone. You’ll definitely need a map to track them all down. This year there will be a Summer Trail from May to September, and a Christmas Trail at the end of the year; check our social media for dates and maps – www.mailtrail.org.uk  

The Hospiscare Mail Trail is 100% run by a team of fundraising volunteers. We have been yarnbombing the postboxes in the Exmouth area since 2020, to create beautiful themed toppers to bring joy to local residents and raise as much as we can for a fantastic charity.

Thank you for showing your support for our wildly creative and dedicated team of volunteer yarnbombers. They are busy crocheting, knitting, designing and devising more postbox toppers right now, for you all to enjoy. All their time and materials generously donated to raise money for Hospiscare. Please, dig deep!

Hospiscare provides specialist end of life care to patients and their families living with life-limiting illnesses across Exeter, Central and East Devon. Hospiscare relies on the support of our community to generate 81% of the income needed to fund our care. This ensures that end-of-life care and family support is delivered at no cost to our patients and their loved ones.
