#teamkind

A collection of posts that show how we are part of a bigger #teamkind when we act with kindness. These stories tell us about the positive things that people do to be kind to others.

Lost bin found.

“Someone put in our road WhatsApp group that they had lost their bin, it wasn’t returned after bin day. Several neighbours responded to say where they had seen abandoned bins at various points around our road and then the missing bin was located and returned.” What kindness have you noticed in your local area this […]

Welcome box at new job.

When I arrived at my desk on the first day of my new job, I was greeted by a Welcome box. It had some pens, pencils, a couple of notebooks, a cup, some teabags and some milk sachets, some wrapped biscuits, as well as campus maps and information. It was such a lovely welcoming gesture!

The Kind Community Project.

We love to shout out other places you can find positivity and, Kristi Trader, from the Global Kindness group I’m in recommended one to me recently, so I’m sharing it with you.

a large table with wrapping paper laid out on it with the back side showing and a very rough hand drawn map on it with some miniatures on it. Around the map are some Dungeons and Dragons character sheets, pens and drinks.

Practice session for new Dungeons and Dragons DM.

“I ran a practice mini DnD session for a brand new DM so he could run through his prep and feel more comfortable before his first session. During his first session I was there and took over at the end when he ran out of prep but he did great and ran most of the

Scones from mum’s friend.

My mum’s friend had baked too many scones, so she gave the extras to us – they were delicious! Tell us 1 act of kindness you’ve seen today. Need some more inspiration? We have plenty of that: Crafter completes crochet project for widower. Van key circuit board returned. Stranger in M&S cafe gifts free hot

Your kindness gave our social media manager 2 weeks off.

“I’m the social media manager here at Time for Kindness and I put out a call on 1st Dec for stories of kindness so that I could get them scheduled and take a couple of weeks off over the festive season. By that evening we had almost all the stories we needed to do 1

Dragon gift and offer of liver from friends.

“I had some bad and scary health news recently. This dragon arrived in the post from my friend immediately after I told her my health news. She also added, if you need a liver or kidney we’ll all get tested.” What a beautiful example of kindness in friendship. And lets get some good wishes for the anonymous person who

A photo taken from just inside a balcony door. We see some thin, bare branches stuck inside a pot. In the crook of one of the branches, a plastic container lid. On top of the lid, a little black, white and yellow bird has a bit of peanut in its beak. In the background a few trees losing their yellow leaves.

Bird feeder for depressed friend.

“New Friend arrived at my door wearing a mask, her glasses fogged from the cold, carrying a giant armful of branches. You need birds, she told me, and proceeded to the balcony, where she planted the branches in an empty pot. She hung a makeshift bird feeder (the lid of a plastic container) off the

Young boy asks for charity donation for Christmas.

“At bedtime I always make sure my son speaks to his grandparents on FaceTime so he talks to them at least once every day. My mother asked him on the phone what he wanted for Christmas, and he told her he had everything he wanted so didn’t know what to ask for. Then he told

A blue hearing loop sign on a train which reads customers with hearing aids that operate through the T system should ask staff to turn the hearing loop on. Customers should then switch their hearing aid to T (telecoil) to activate amplification through the hearing loop.

Hearing aid tips.

Sharing accessibility tips and tricks is a great act of kindness, and that’s what Phil Creighton did on LinkedIn recently. He posted about 4 hearing aid users he’d spoken to who didn’t know about telecoils and also weren’t confident using the app for their hearing aids. When I mentioned that my mum had also struggled,
