Swansea couple donate 2 houses to Welsh homelessness charity.

Valerie and Chris standing on a pedestrianised shopping street. Valerie is a woman with light skin tone and shoulder length curly grey hair wearing a long pink decorative scarf and long sleeved top in pastel colours. Chris is a man with light skin tone, bald head and grey beard wearing glasses. He is wearing a pale green top under an off-white zip up jumper.

A Swansea couple have donated two 4 bedroom houses to The Wallich, a homelessness charity in Wales, after they moved in together.

Speaking to BBC news, Valerie and Chris said “we’re both comfortably off, not wealthy by current standards, but we have more than enough to live on. It seemed just a sensible thing to do really, no sacrifice, and I think quite a lot of people, if they reflected on their situation and current social needs, [they] might reach the same decision.”

We think that Valerie and Chris are kindness superheroes – you can read the full story on The Wallich website here.

We’re big believers that no kindness is too small to celebrate so check out these stories of everyday kindness too:
