We quite often hear stories of people’s big gestures and random acts of kindness that have gone viral. You know the type; a stranger paid for a family’s meal in a restaurant, someone found a wad of cash in an envelope on the street with a note to enjoy or the person behind the old lady at the till in Tesco paid for her shopping.
There’s no doubt these are all wonderful stories of kindness. But not all random acts of kindness need to be grand gestures; or money orientated. In fact, doing good doesn’t need to cost a lot of time or money at all. Simple, small gestures of kindness can go a long way and make a big difference.
