Have you seen the Million Freepost Letter Project yet? If not check it out!


Its purpose is clear: “This is a Anti-Workfare page set up to use all legal means to stop organisations using the unemployed for free labour, these unscrupulous organisations understand one thing only, and that is profit, so that is where I aim to encourage people to target.”

Its method is simple: Write your complaint about workfare to an organisation’s freepost address, thus costing the organisation money as well.

Here are some of the addresses compiled so far…

So please freepost away with letters, postcards and parcels, please keep messages polite and mailings legal!

(You may also be interested to note that some people have taken to sending workfare exploiter Argos’ catalogues since the heavier the item, the more it costs.)

Thanks to the Million Freepost Letter Project for the great idea and the research!
