What kindness have you seen in your workplace this week?
“I had a meeting with a colleague in a café on campus. As we left, someone ran after us to return my colleague’s bag which he had seen her leave behind by mistake.”
Small acts of kindness like this make up everyday life, try choosing to notice it and see how it makes you feel.
“My team mate has just moved house and as she now lives nearer to me, she offered to give me a lift to and from training to save me cycling in the dark and the cold. When the weather improves, we’re going to be cycle buddies on training day.”
What a wonderful team mate!
We share stories of kindness sent in by people like you every single day - hit follow to rebalance your feed with some positivity.
We’re hearing so many stories of kind friends recently but we want more! Let’s hear about your kind friends.
Here’s our latest example:
“I’ve become disabled and my room was no longer really accessible for me because of my change in needs. A friend came over and has come up with a plan for rearranging and making things better laid out and organised for me, freeing up floor space.
She even built the flat-pack furniture for me and bought me lunch!”
“I helped a lady who’d injured herself falling off her bike. With help from others we took her to hospital. She suffered a broken tibia and is now back home and recovering.
Her husband came by to pick up her bike I’d kept safe for her in the garage.
He brought a gift and said ‘thank you it has restored my faith in humanity.’"

We strongly believe that self kindness is important and we love this example:
“I treated myself to some artwork of forests from an independent Scottish artist as I can’t get to them now I’m disabled - at least at the moment.”

Helping people save money and the planet is a great double act of kindness - especially when it also includes celebrations!
I bought decorations for my daughter’s 18th birthday that I then shared them with a friend whose daughter turned 18 a few weeks later.
They’ve now passed them on to someone else with an 18th birthday coming up.
The balloons came to us after 2 other parties and were passed on to another friend.

What small act of everyday kindness have you spotted recently?
“At the weekend I was walking towards the gate of the playground pushing a sleeping baby in a pram. Someone was walking past with their dog and stopped to open the gate so I could get out more easily.”
This one was sent in via our Facebook page - it’s that easy to tell us about the kindness you’re seeing!

Depression is often an invisible condition.
It would be super helpful if it was easier to tell people when you’re depressed.
It would be super helpful if it was easier to tell if people are depressed.
We could, of course, simply be kind to everyone, not knowing what they’re going through.
What brings you joy?
Two friends sent me flowers to say ‘congratulations on your new job’. I love fresh flowers (and my friends)!

What kindness have you noticed in your local area this week?
“Someone put in our road WhatsApp group that they had lost their bin, it wasn’t returned after bin day.
Several neighbours responded to say where they had seen abandoned bins at various points around our road and then the missing bin was located and returned.”
