“I work as a TA and support worker for a young adult who is Autistic. His family have a annual trip to London. Which he hasn’t ever been on until this year with the whole family and me to support him on a very hot Tuesday in London.
The first kindness we experienced was a lovely man who stop passengers from getting on the tube to let us off at Holborn tube station. He was kind made our transition easy, giving my young person great first experience.
My second, again we were on a very busy tube back to kings cross, my young adult was struggling with the heat and wobbly train and was getting a little stressed.
Two lovely ladies at Russell Sq gave up their seats to make him feel better. Thank you so much to them for that small act of kindness, it makes a difference.
His first trip to London was a success thanks to kind people. These are mile stones for my young adult and his family, for a strangers in London to show such kindness need to be celebrated.”
A huge thank you to Alison for sending in these wonderful examples of the kindness of strangers and why it matters so much.
