In a world of seven billion unique people of all different cultures and customs, it is easy to feel as though we don’t have much in common. Alternatively, in a world of seven billion unique people who all experience happiness, heartache and hope we can feel as though we are all connected. It is from this place of commonality, only visible through our own empathy, that we empower kindness.

Kindness is being brave enough to step into another’s shoes. It can look like holding the door open for someone, smiling at a stranger or taking the time to check in with a friend. It can also look like going against the crowd, taking the harder option or standing up for your values, leaving yourself open to be criticised or judged.
