About IPF

Background

International Pen Friends (IPF) was founded in Dublin, Ireland on 7 April 1967 with the vision of giving people of all ages from every country the opportunity to gain penfriends and promote world peace and friendship through sincere letter writing.

On 1 February 2001 our Head Office moved from Ireland to Australia. We continue to be supported by hundreds of thousands of members worldwide, an established network of global representatives and a dedicated Head Office team.

The Fun of Letter Writing

Despite the many forms of communication available today, it is interesting that the most common feedback IPF receives from members is the enjoyment and fun they gain by receiving letters in the mail. It is hard to match the anticipation of waiting for letters to arrive, the stamps, postmarks, fancy writing paper, postcards, photos, tokens of friendship, the time and care people have taken to write the letters, sitting quietly and reading the letters time and time again, and possibly keeping them for many years as part of personal history. It is also better to receive letters in the mail than junk mail and bills!
