Supporting community run projects is such a powerful act of kindness that ripples out. In fact, community projects are somewhere we hear about a lot of kindness from the people organising them, to those getting the word out about them, along with the specifics of the project itself, and here’s one example:
“I started a the Re-Kinked project, a Midlands-based, community-focused project exploring how kink and sustainability can go hand in hand. And all the love that the project received before it’s first event even happened was so kind.
People shared it with their friends, helping boost the posts on social media, telling me how important what I’m doing is and how awesome it is to cheer me on. It was all so kind and supportive.
The idea behind Re-Kinked is pretty simple: a lot of kink gear doesn’t need to be brand new, and a lot of conversations around sustainability are missing from the kink scene. Rather than aiming for ‘perfect,’ the project is about raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and making small, practical changes feel possible (and enjoyable!).
We also donated the funds, a total of £140, from our first event to Notts Trans Hub to spread the kindness.”
We can also see kindness to the environment in this story, and we just love story with so many aspects to it.
