Letter to Our Future

Letter to Our Future

(please note, some personal information has been retracted for privacy)

Post is often something that people in today’s society dread, it isn’t often nowadays that we get excited to see it come through. Post today is often notice of bills coming soon, important reminders requiring attention, and junk mail cluttering up your letterbox. However, there is one sort of post that brings joy to the faces of each and every team member at the Whitemoor Lakes Activity Centre…

Letters from YOU!

When these letters come through the front door they absolutely never fail to make us smile. They act as a reminder of our purpose, and the people we aim to be for every one of our guests. They remind us of the impact we can have on the young people who visit our centre, from the healthy food we prepare to keep them fuelled to the courage we built in them while tackling the Leap of Faith.

It would be a lie to say that these letters are not passed from staff member to staff member throughout the day they are received, each person reading them with happiness shining in their eyes. The young people who gave up their time and put in the effort to write and mail these letters to us may never know the smiles they plastered on our faces, but we wanted to put these letters out into the world for others to see their kindness. We hope these students will know how thankful we are for their stories.

Inspired by your letters we’ve decided to attempt to write a letter of our own, a letter intended for our future selves. We hope this letter helps to remind us of why we do what we do and is a promise to you, our guests, that we will be here to support and welcome you as long as we are able.

If you want to join in on the fun, try writing a letter to your future self and marking the sealed envelope with ‘Don’t open till 2030’. By writing this letter you create a written time capsule of memories to reflect back on in a five years time – you are likely going to be a whole different person by then!

Here are some questions to help get you started.

  1. What are your current goals and aspirations? What do you hope to achieve in the near future?
  2. What do you want your future self to look like? What kind of person do you want to become?
  3. How do you see yourself changing in the future? What areas of your life or character do you hope will evolve?
