Ways to spread kindness this Random Acts of Kindness Day

Each year, 17th February marks Random Acts of Kindness Day. It exists to encourage acts of kindness to not only bring joy to the receiver, but by spreading positive feelings to the giver too!

The idea behind this day is to make kindness a part of our everyday lives. Sometimes the smallest act can have the biggest impact and help people to view the world in a more positive light.
