I just came across The International Random Acts of Kindness Week and was rather intrigued by the campaign. It stuck a chord for two reasons:
Firstly, LEYF recently reviewed all its values and behaviours with the staff and many others. Like The Kindness Offensive, being kind to ourselves and others is a central behaviour and indeed today to celebrate this we have invited Audore, a masseuse from Return to Glory, to Central Office to help staff reduce the shoulder tension that comes from being hunched over computers all day long!
Secondly, We have been following the debate about British values and under-fives and kindness is at the core of both our values and our attitude to “British Values”.
On the International Random Acts of Kindness Week website they suggest ten kindness ideas. Here are the ten LEYF Acts of Kindness which no doubt many of you all do every day not just for this week!
