Random acts of kindness

Evidence shows that being kind to friends, family and strangers really does improve your mental and physical wellbeing. The Mental Health Foundation have put together some suggestions that you may wish to try throughout September  At home and in your community Call a friend that you haven’t spoken to for a while Send a letter to your nan and grandad Send flowers to a friend out of the blue Offer to pick up some groceries for your elderly neighbour Help a friend pack for a move Send someone a handwritten thank you note Offer to babysit for a friend Walk your friend’s dog Tell your family members how much you love and appreciate them Help out at home with household chores Check on someone you know who is going through a tough time Help a friend get active At work Make a cup of tea for your colleagues Get to know the new staff member Lend your ear - listen to your colleague who is having a bad day Say good morning Bake a cake or healthy treat for your colleagues Give praise to a colleague for something they’ve done well In public places Give up your seat to an elderly, disabled or pregnant person Take a minute to help a tourist who is lost even though you are in a rush Have a conversation with a homeless person Help a mother carrying her pushchair down the stairs or hold the door for her Let a fellow driver merge into your lane Pick up some rubbish lying around in the street Smile and say hello to people you may pass every day, but have never spoken to before
