A collection of posts that show how kindness is an active pursuit. These positive stories cover a wide range of acts of kindness to others that people have taken.

Tim gives sofa to new neighbour.

“When I moved into my new flat at The Charterhouse London, I had most of the things I needed to make my rooms cosy. I knew that at some point in the future I would need a sofa, when I could afford it. When one of my neighbours, Tim, bought a new sofa for himself, […]

Two tables pushed together with a variety of snacks on them including doughnuts, packs of biscuits, cookies, bite size flapjacks and caramel chocolates, tea cakes and other things.

Shared Remembrance day cakes.

“I was on cake duty for our Remembrance service and after everyone at the coffee morning had enjoyed themselves and gone back to work I packed up some to take to my team and gave the leftovers away, including to my old team.” What kindness did you see over Remembrance?

Corporal provides paddling pool for soldiers on the front line.

“A corporal at Bastion in Afghanistan heard how much not having proper showers (they only had solar pack showers) was affecting morale in the troops on the front line and happened to have access to a paddling pool, so he sent it on to them.

Teenage daughter returns library books.

I was really busy with work meetings and deadlines, but I knew I had some books that were overdue to go back to the library. The longer I left it to return them, the bigger the fine was going to be! My teenage daughter offered to return them for me while she was out on

Stressful morning eased by kindness of train staff.

“I had a covid and flu jab which left me a bit unwell and the brain wasn’t functioning properly when I was due to be delivering some training in Eastbourne. I duly arrived at St Leonards warrior square station, saw the Eastbourne train was on time, a train came into the station and I got

Little ladders for garden critters.

“Little ladders for garden critters. 💚 Nearly the whole neighbourhood is setting up to help our garden buddies through the winter. We have bird feeders, hedgehog houses, water bowls, squirrel feeders, and bee, bat, and butterfly hotels in the gardens.” This fabulous moment of kindness was sent to our Mastodon account – that’s right, you

Have you got time to be kind?

Extra design work for no charge.

“I contacted the incredible graphic designer, Claire of 20 Pence Productions, who did my branding to ask if she could do an Alicorn for a new offer and she said she was happy to do it for free. I thought it was super kind of her.” We love hearing about kindness in business and this

What kindness have you seen today? When I met up with my fellow global kindness group member, Kim Stokes, in person for the first time. We had a very productive time, talked and planned so much that our meeting ran into lunch. The lovely lady working at the café took our photo when we asked
