Although I am enjoying carrying out acts of kindness it is a challenge finding ones that are ‘different’, and so I am seeking inspiration from a number of sources. These include hearing of kind acts undertaken by others, and being on the receiving end of kindness myself. So here are 15 more, and if you have already, thank you for sponsoring me. I’ve:
66. Scripted a difficult email for someone who was struggling to put pen to paper
67. Leafleted for a political party; offered to drive people who will find it difficult to get to a polling station on election day
68. Stepped in to lead a discussion when the person who had intended to do it was unwell
69. Gave away some (rather good) items on Freecycle
70. Turned computer and other ‘gadgets’ off at night to save electricity
71. Donated to Hope not Hate
72. Offered a lift to the polling station – to someone who thought would (probably) vote for a party I don’t agree with!
73. Brought some washing in for someone as I noticed it had started raining
74. Ironed some (6) shirts for someone who hates ironing – I’m not so keen myself!
75. Told someone I thought the report they had written was one of the best I’d read
76. Paid someone’s car-parking fee as they had no change
77. Gave a homemade lemon drizzle cake to someone from another country as a mini introduction to UK food … and because I thought she would like it
78. Bought a plant for someone and offered to help her care for it she is concerned she does not have green fingers … not that mine are very green either!
79. Took some books to a charity shop for a friend who was unable to go
80. Made a gooey cake to share with people I don’t yet know, with whom I’ll be sharing a self-catering apartment.
