Mancunian strangers help after fall.

View of Manchester Cathedral and its grounds from a further away road. A blue sky with fluffy white clouds behind it, a road in front which people are driving and walking down.

“On my way home in Manchester, and just at the end of my street, I tripped and fell. My more unsympathetic or possibly just more realistic friends have said that at my age – 65 – I don’t trip up, I ‘have a fall.’

As it happens I was fine, just a bit grazed and embarrassed, but two lovely ladies stopped, and took some convincing that I was very close to home, and not actually broken. Thank you both.”

We’re glad to hear you’re doing ok, John, and that people came to help. Thank you for sending in your experience of kindness for us to share further.

You can send in your stories of kindness to us, just like John did, through any of our social media (InstagramFacebookLinkedInMastodon or Bsky) or using our website, any time day or night!
