We have lots of decisions to make in life and choosing kindness is always a good solution.
Our mum Susan Goddard was absolutely BRILLIANT at this and was such a lovely, kind person – she volunteered to help with reading in lots of schools, she helped out many people who were lonely and needed support and she always had a smile for everyone.
She was a shining example of someone who chose kindness every single day.
This competition and award is in her memory.
Why? Because kindness matters. Choosing kindness matters
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
—Aesop
