Day 13 - Random Acts of Kindness
By WWTW Fundraising on
Welcome back to Day 13. You're almost halfway through the month, you've got this! Today's task from our connection series is all about spreading kindness through random acts.
The challenge
Your challenge today is to spread kindness. From small gestures to grand deeds, let's create ripples of goodwill.
The beauty of kindness
The beauty of this challenge is its flexibility. Your act of kindness can be anything that brings joy to someone else. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Inspired: Maybe you’ve seen a heartwarming story on the news or social media that inspires you to do something similar. Give it a try!
- Simplicity: Sometimes, the simplest acts can have the biggest impact. Smile at a stranger, say hello, or ask someone about their day.
Why it matters
Random acts of kindness not only brighten someone else’s day but also enhance your well-being. Kindness fosters a sense of community, reduces stress, and promotes a positive outlook on life.
Make it a habit
Consider making acts of kindness a regular part of your routine. Small, consistent gestures can lead to a more compassionate and connected community.
Fundraiser update
On the 19 June three dedicated cyclists from FDM Group are set to take on a formidable 400km bike ride from Leeds to London. Frazer Barrell, Callum Wilson, and James Tuttiett are aiming to complete the journey in 16.5 hours. Will they beat the sun?
James Tuttiett, Sales Director, UK & EMEA at FDM Group, commented:
“FDM Group has been supporting Walking With The Wounded for several years, not only participating in key fundraising events but also offering employment opportunities to veterans. Our 400km cycle ride will be a challenge, but the difficulties we face pale in comparison to those who served and struggle with transitioning to civilian life. We’re looking forward to raising money and awareness for this incredible charity.”
