KIND News
From children breathing cleaner air, to a WORLD FIRST mission, Ned brings you kind news from around the world.
We also LOVE hearing your kind news stories. Download our Kind News activity sheet to tell us your own kind news! Simply email a photo of it and your story could be featured on Kind News.
Kindness in Action
In case you hadn’t noticed….our captain of Kindness KRISH has broken a world record by skipping (with a skipping rope!) over 1,000 miles from Cornwall to Scotland and raising over an astonishing £11,000. He has been collecting stories of kindness along his way, lighting up a map of the UK with kindness. We would love you to help to see what an achievement this is, by sending him some congratulations cards. And if you can include a kind story that you have seen or been part of too and what town/city you are from, then that would just knock his socks off!
Please send your cards to:
52 Lives,
PO Box 3154
Reading, RG1 9AT
SHOW AND TELL
Our Show and Tell this month HAS to be our Captain of Kindness breaking a world record and skipping over 1,000 miles from Cornwall to Scotland! Krish Patel wanted to prove that kindness exists all over the UK, and as he skipped, he collected stories of kindness to light up a map of kindness!
You can add your own kindness story here – let’s make another place light up on the map!
Well done Krish!
