Giving back with kindness – a Kindness Medal
Dulux has partnered with The Great British Children’s Challenge this October to encourage kids to give back to their local communities, by rewarding their efforts with a medal.
The #TrueColours Kindness Challenge seeks to inspire youngsters to help those less fortunate than themselves to carry out selfless acts throughout half-term and beyond.
In celebrating kindness and compassion – while following all social distancing regulations – the children qualify for a limited edition #TrueColours medal.
Now more than ever, communities benefit from staying connected, with the holidays providing the perfect opportunity to spread joy and lift the spirits of those facing challenges.
Kindness means everything, doesn’t it.

A Dulux spokesperson said: “During these difficult times, acts of kindness are even more important than they have ever been.
“By joining forces with The Great British Children’s Challenge, we aim to encourage children to look out for others.”
The Great British Children’s Challenge inspires kids to be active and helps them to understand the value of helping good causes – through a range of activities, with proud parents sharing their efforts on Instagram.
