St Albans Postbox Toppers 2025

We developed the map in conjunction with the St Albans Postboxes initiative to raise awareness and money for local charities. In addition to the print maps and checklist, Event Maps has sponsored a postbox this year. As a result, donations to the two charities have already started pouring in!

Clare and the maps at the launch event in 2025, at St Albans Clock Tower, with Daisy Cooper MP, Mayor and Annie Brewster, alongside the organisers.

Background

In 2021 Clare found out about the initiative and created the Stick Man crochet topper for that event. In 2024 she made the map to help raise awareness and encourage more people to go and find the artworks all over the St Albans and Harpenden area. Using her 25+ years of experience in cartography, Clare worked alongside the organisers to collate the relevant information and assess the best recommended routing options. Each year we launch an updated map and checklists to help raise more money for the chosen charities.
