DIY SOS volunteering creates lifelong memories.

Volunteering is a common and wonderful way to show kindness; have you volunteered? Emma Reeve recently shared the impact a large scale volunteering project had on her and why she still remembers it a year later.

“A year ago I had the most incredible experience volunteering on DIY SOS (info on the show here). It wasn’t about work or business, it was about giving something back, being part of something bigger and helping make a difference for a family who truly deserved it. Spending those days alongside so many amazing people, all giving their time, skills and energy to help someone else, was something I’ll never forget.

The atmosphere, the teamwork and the kindness from complete strangers was genuinely inspiring. I also met some truly brilliant people along the way and made memories that will stay with me forever. Feeling very grateful to have been a tiny part of something so special.”

Check out some examples of everyday kindness to remind you that it comes in all shapes and sizes:
