What is Postcard of Support?
Postcard of Support is a campaign to help bring students together during the cost of living crisis. The campaign allows students to send both virtual and physical postcards to one another to create a space to connect, emphasise and find strength in solidarity.
My campaign targets university students aiming to provide support, resources, and a platform for their voices to be heard. It will create meaningful change and alleviate the financial burdens that students might face.
Campaign aims
1. Foster community: A support network showing students they’re not alone.
2. Raise awareness: Bring light to the challenges of the cost of living crisis.
4. Spark dialogue: Create a platform for open conversations about financial struggles.
5. Resource highlighting: Showcase available resources and support services.
Website
The website serves as a pivotal platform in my campaign, offering students the opportunity to create and send personalised virtual postcards to help students not feel alone during the cost of living crisis. Beyond our physical postcard initiative, this digital extension enables students to express solidarity and support in a customisable manner, tailoring the size, font, stamp, and border to suit their preferences. This feature fosters a sense of community and connectivity, empowering students to share their experiences and concerns while amplifying their voices.
Social media
The instagram uses visuals and messaging to engage and mobilise our audience effectively.
Through examples of handwritten postcards, shocking quotes, and statistics, we inform and empower students about the challenges they face. Action shots showcase our campaigns capabilities, encouraging further participation and advocacy.
