Looking forward to Kindfest 2022

We are so looking forward to Kindfest tomorrow! Team Time for Kindness may be spread around the UK but we’re all attending the virtual event and we can’t wait. Are you going to Team Kind’s Kindfest20222?

Helping outside your zone of genius

Despite knowing nothing about cars we were able to help out a motorist! They were driving through our village with a stick in their tyre which they hadn’t noticed. We got their attention and they stopped allowing my husband, Tris, to pull the stick out and send them safely on their way. Despite neither of

Community spirit

I love when communities come together! The road where I live is a loop at the end of a long road that goes nowhere else. Yesterday and today the road has been closed for long periods of the day for resurfacing.Our road WhatsApp group has been busy all day with messages of people informing each

Julie smiling. She has long, wavy blonde hair and is wearing a red top with some sparkles on it.

Strangers on a train

When Julie missed her train to London by seconds one morning having pre-booked an advance single to save the pennies, she began to beat herself up; “I should know better with my ADHD brain and asthma but I thought I could do it.” She went to the information office, holding back the tears, and calmly

The kindness of Bulmershe School’s students

Bulmershe School tweeted how lucky they are to have such fantastic students who support them in our extra-curricular after some of the year 12s helped to run a primary school netball tournament. It’s wonderful to see kindness being celebrated in schools – what kindness have you seen from children recently?

Mindfulness meditations as self kindness

How do you show yourself kindness in times of stress? For Alexis it’s mindfulness meditations during dog walks. She told me that standing on a bridge over the Tennant canal one Saturday between a long list of work and personal to-dos and doing a Buddhify meditation which focused just on the senses of the body

a bowl with a pile of reddish orange food including peppers, rice and beans, piled over a courgette in it.

Sharing home grown food

”I arrived to play cards with a partner, family and friends, and had brought my own snacks. They asked why and my partner explained that I’m vegan. Without pause one of my partner’s friends held up a huge, homegrown courgette and asked if I’d like it. It was so kind and I said yes and

Matilda wearing an ivory, vintage style wedding dress and hat with netting, they are holding a bunch of sweet peas in one hand and the hat to her head with the other.

Sweet peas

I see your last Rolo and raise you the last sweet peas for a wedding! My sister-in-law was due to marry in March 2020, in the end getting married in August with severe limits on the number of people who could attend. But Tilda shared a beautiful story of kindness that came out of it.

ADHD friends

How do you help make life a little easier for your neurodivergent friends? The issues with object permanence that often come with ADHD can make remembering a lunchbox that’s in the fridge before you walk out the door very difficult – a bright pink sticker that says “lunch” right in your eye line on the

Screenshot of a LinkedIn post from Nikki Wrench reading “Supporting people to get new jobs in the sector is one of my favourite things to do! I’ve lost count now of the amount of people that I’ve had the pleasure of working with, helping them to build their CVs, practising interview skills and building their confidence around having conversations about salary! Every person that I’ve supported this year has got the job and it’s the best feeling in the world getting messages like this. They all have the potential to get the job without my help - all I’m doing is helping them to feel more prepared and therefore more confident. I’d highly recommend doing this - it’s a great way to volunteer your skills and bring more fantastic fundraisers into the charity sector.”

Furloughed fundraisers

Isn’t it amazing when even more good comes of a kindness. I featured Nikki’s fundraisers support group on Time for Kindness last year as she’d set up a support group for fundraisers who had been furloughed. Recently she posted over on LinkedIn about some huge successes she’d had while supporting other fundraisers to get new
