Jon Matson, a 39-year-old postman from West Boldon, UK, has discovered a fun and heartwarming way to boost morale during the coronavirus lockdown. Instead of his usual uniform, Jon dons vibrant, eye-catching costumes as he delivers mail, turning each stop into the highlight of people’s day. His cheerful outfits not only spread joy to his community but also help him manage the stress of working in such uncertain times.
As a father of two and an occasional cyclist, Jon has been a postman for over four years. Before that, he drove buses—a big career shift, but one he’s come to love. The outdoor work and daily interactions with new faces suit him perfectly. For the past two years, Jon has delivered on his current route, forming close bonds with many of his customers, who are often neighbors and friends.

The moment he stepped out in his cheerleader costume, the response was overwhelming. People loved it, and their reactions fueled his decision to keep going. With his manager’s approval, Jon embraced the chance to lift spirits daily with his ever-changing, fun attire.
