These stories share acts of kindness from real people in every day life. #ProjectAmplifyKindness is about changing the balance of the narrative about the world and how people behave.
Let’s celebrate Danielle, the Boots employee who saved the day! “Even with the best planning in the world, there’s always something that goes wrong 😫. We took over a house to do an intense day of filming. Camera crew, photographer everything was booked and sorted. Everyone arrived minus the makeup artist and all l had […]
I went to collect a prescription for my husband and the queue was really long, but he needs the tablets so there was no option for me to come back another day. There was a lot of huffing & puffing in the queue, but people were generally resigned to waiting. I heard the poor woman […]
How many times have you donated blood? For those who are able to, donating blood is a wonderful way to make kindness a regular part of your life. Carys has given blood 41 times so far and is still going strong! Are you inspired to book a blood donation session?
Could you be kind to an opposing political candidate?

Last week I ran a session at the NHS Charities Together conference about building a comms strategy. I love doing that sort of thing, it was definitely a kindness to myself to be back in the room with real people. It was so exciting, I forgot to take many photos! And I was definitely overwhelmed […]
