What has inspired me?
As Quaker Social Action reaches its 150th year my goal is to carry out 150 (random) acts of kindness during 2017, and to raise £1500 at the same time. I am inspired by stories of people, touched by QSA, who have made a difference to their lives. And I have been inspired to focus on kindness because in my experience as a trustee, love and compassion are at the very heart of the work carried out by this innovative, inspirational and practical organisation.
I have set myself the challenge of finding 150 opportunities to act kindly, where possible trying to be kind to different people, on different days, and in different ways. I will also note kindness offered to me, which in turn may increase my awareness of what else I might do. Research suggests that giving to others makes us happy. I am grateful when someone is kind to me, and know that if I practise kindness more often, I am likely to get a boost in happiness, especially if I can raise funds at the same time – it’s a win-win!
