We hope you enjoy taking part in #AOKAiredale kindness month. To give you a bit of inspiration to do an act of kindness every day this month, we’ve put together some ideas:
- Send flowers to a relative
- Send someone a handwritten note or letter
- Offer to babysit for a friend
- Leave a positive review for a small business
- Connect a charity to your amazon smile account
- Let someone go in front of you in a queue
- Make a cup of tea for friends or colleagues
- Tell someone that you’re proud of them
- Send a motivational text to a friend who may be struggling
- Tell someone a joke to cheer them up
- Put a surprise note on someone’s desk
- Contact someone you haven’t seen for a while and arrange to meet them
- Sign up to do voluntary work in your local community
- Send someone a care package
- Offer to pick a friend or family member up from work
- Bake a cake for your colleagues
- Give praise to a colleague for something they’ve done well
- Take someone for lunch instead of eating at your desk
- Let someone go in front of you at the supermarket
- Smile and say hello to people you may pass every day, but have never spoken to before
- If you’re buying a coffee for yourself, pay for an extra one for them to give to someone for free later that day
Remember, a small act of kindness can make a big difference to someone!
