Kindness Day UK, November 13, is a celebration of kindness across the UK and encourages kind acts to be performed on a nationwide scale. Kindness UK is an independent, not-for-profit organisation with the goal of making Kindness a greater part of everyone’s day-to-day lives.
Here are some ideas for your hospitality business to do on Kindness Day or celebrate with a week of kind acts from official website:
• Kindness Day Award – awarded to someone who has shown great kindness or done a good deed that was inspiring
• Send out a Kindness Day email to everyone in the company/organisation showing your appreciation for their hard work
• Raise money for a local/your preferred charity
• Organise an office treat such as a company breakfast or lunch for employees
• Offer Kindness Day discounts, extras or ‘freebies’ to your clients
• ‘Winter Warmers’ donation event – ask everyone to bring in coats, blankets and towels they no longer need and give all the donated ‘winter warmers’ to a homeless or animal shelter charity
• Organise a work ‘Sleep Out’ for a homeless charity
• Kindness Packages – create boxes filled with goodies e.g. tinned food, cosmetics etc. You could ask for people to donate items or you can supply them. Take the boxes to the needy in your community or to a charity who can distribute them.
• Plant trees and make a plaque for them such as: “This tree was planted for Kindness Day UK 2016 as an act of kindness towards the environment and nature”
• Clothes swap event – hold a free up-cycle event; everyone brings in clothes they do not use/need and everyone can take home items they like. Recycle the left over clothes in a clothes bank or donate them to a charity shop
