Young woman helps elderly lady after missing bus stop.

Bournemouth town centre on a sunny day. Some people are sat on a bench to the right. There are some trees and plants and a glass archway in the centre.

“I was waiting for the bus in Bournemouth Town Centre when a bus pulled up & an elderly lady got off with her zimmer frame.

She was obviously disorientated and had missed her stop because she can’t see in the dark.

Luckily there was a lovely young lady in her mid 20s who helped. She phoned a taxi and, when she was told they couldn’t pick her up from a bus stop, she missed her own bus to take the lady up the road to a taxi rank.

Seeing this helped restore my faith in humanity and a massive well done to that young lady.”

We’re so glad to hear that seeing this act of kindness restored your faith in humanity Paul, that’s why we believe it’s so important to encourage people to see the kindness that’s already out there. Here’s a few other stories that might have the same effect:
