Random Acts Of Kindness Ideas

Being kind to others can lift someone’s whole day and hopefully inspire others to pay it forward and do the same, and what better way to mark Random Acts of Kindness Day on the 17th of February than to share some of the ways we can make the world a brighter and kinder place!

This could simply be helping with their luggage/shopping bags to complimenting someone’s outfit – often the smallest and simplest gestures can mean the most. Also one smile, cup of coffee or one conversation – that’s all it takes to transform someone’s day.
