"My hairdresser posted on social media asking for help. She lives in a block of flats with her son, a young boy. Unhappy about lack of outdoors time. So I've invited them to come make use of my garden and let him play to his heart content. He's ever so excited about the tyre swing bless him. We (adults) are going to have a glass of wine too. Her on the decking and me iside the patio doors. We are all really looking forward to it. " When there is a will there is a way isnt it.. I have been on a receiving end too. My whole family actually.. after some incredibly awful time over last few months and with a family bday celebration happening last week.. we have been spoilt with cards and little homemade gifts on our doorstep. There are some good people out there.. and I am very touched. Now thinking of paying it forward. | |||

"I'm not going into specifics but I've tried to do my bit, and others have helped me do so." It all goes around.. no need for details. Glad you have been on both receiving and giving ends. | |||

"A random act of kindness should be a selfless one too No grandstanding No need to video it Broadcast it " Unless its inspiring others to do the same or similar | |||

"I’m shopping and collecting prescriptions for my 82 year old neighbour. I’ve seen no act of kindness towards me from anyone though.....and I have a medical condition.

"I've sent a few surprise gifts to people to cheer them up. I made cakes for people on Sunday I'm shopping for a few vulnerable people. I've been out litter picking a couple of times in my local lanes. And I hid Easter eggs in the gardens on my lane and left floury footprints on the path. I like making people smile " I'm thinking of those kids who found these eggs. Wish you could see their smiles. Best thing ever. Making little ones happy. We like litter picking too. In fact my kids kept asking when are we going to do it again as our last visit to woods resulted in some awful messy finds.. | |||

It sounds disheartening | |||

"It wasn't done as an act of kindness, just happened naturally, child and I got talking to an older lady in the park (at a distance on our daily exercise before the social distancing police jump in), just general chit chat, and afterwards she said we had made her day . Really brought home how lonely some people must feel, more so now but generally also. " we never do know what might make others day.. and it didn't cost a thing.. smile and kind words.. What a great example for the child too. They learn by watching us so much x | |||

"use to do a lot of kind things. they found people took advantage and kindness is jumped upon as a weakness" I'm sorry you got let down. But maybe it's just about drawing some boundaries. Or not expecting people will show gratitude and just doing it because it's right thing to do? Easy to say I guess.. I hope you find in time that true strength comes from not allowing few disappointing people affect your desire to help | |||

"Well unfortunately I was very very unwell with suspected virus and even ended up in hospital. Unfortunately I live alone with my daughter and had not prepared at all shopping wise. A Neighbor I have only smiled at in passing, saw me hanging out the window a few days after I returned from hospital, as I was watching little one play but not well enough to go outside. She said she had noticed an ambulance had been for me and we got talking. She kindly went and got some basic stuff for me as she works in a shop. So lovely. As soon as I was able I popped a card through her letterbox and have now become an NHS volunteer responder to help all I can. " That's fantastic. Xx | |||
