Olly the banjo player in Bridport is a kindness superhero.

An old building in Bridport of brown stone with wooden windows set in to it. The entrance to it is a rounded turret style which protrudes from the rest of the building. A bend and bin are under the downstairs window. Behind it a pedestrianised street. The sky above is bright blue with a few fluffy clouds.

“I recently left my handbag behind on a bench after lunch in Bridport Dorset. It was fully loaded with car keys, phone, credit cards and even cash … A guy with a banjo- I think his name was Ollie Jessop…? tracked me back to where I was working and came and handed it in.

I thanked him at the time but I was a bit overwhelmed and just wanted to give him a big shout out and draw attention to his very much appreciated act of kindness that saved me from immeasurable stress and grief and made my day.

He might be playing a gig in the area or it may just be something he does for fun but Ollie with the banjo in Bridport, thank you for being a wonderful human being”
