Putting the kind in humankind
The Kindness Factory is a not-for-profit that creates educational programs in schools and universities, to help foster a kinder community.
And it all starts by logging a small act of kindness — whether that’s calling your mum, helping out at a homeless shelter, or simply being less of a knucklehead and more of a legend. Because even the smallest act can make a big difference.
In our final episode of the Pinna Original Podcast One Small Act, we’re talking about the most important person you should be kind to: yourself! As we explore the concept of self-acceptance, you’ll meet 12-year-old Aiden Taylor who, after being teased about his hairstyle, wrote a book called “Me and My Afro” which celebrates uniqueness and self-love.
We interrupt your day with a Public Kindness Announcement. Call your mum, go easy on the apprentice and stop trolling! These are just three very simple ways to be kind this World Kindness Day - Sunday 13 November.
We’re going for 1 million acts in a day and we need your help to get it done! Log your act at Kindnessfactory.com or by using the hashtag #onesmallact
Huge thanks to our pro bono campaign partners @wavemakeranz @vmlyr_anz and @unltdaus for your incredible support in bringing this all together.
November is all about giving thanks and a perfect time to explore gratitude in the latest episode of the Pinna Original podcast One Small Act. We’ll touch base with Kath Koschel, founder of the Kindness Factory and one of the driving forces behind this podcast on how expressing gratitude is one of the kindest gifts you can give. #kindnessfactory #onesmallact
Danny Ings wearing headphones entering the pitch with Riley Regan from AstonVilla disability football sessions.
Riley needs to wear headphones to block out the noise, so Dan joined him.
Small gestures can have a big impact.
Football has the power to unite.
Maybe it’s no coincidence Dan scored 2 goals in the first half 💜
October is #EmotionalWellnessMonth and in the latest episode of the Pinna Original podcast One Small Act, we're talking about the importance of mindfulness & meditation. You'll hear from 14-year-old Layla Sharp about how running helps her calm her mind and give her the space to think through problems - allowing her to approach situations with kindness.
Little story.
So my husband tells my son (who has autism) to run in and get a take-out menu from Sun Restaurant. They even practice it in the car beforehand. Then my son goes in and my husband is waiting…and waiting…and waiting…so finally decides to see what’s going on. What’s going on is that my son is at a table, eating. Apparently, he told the hostess “I’m hungry.” So she sat him down and asked what he wanted to eat, and he answered: “beef.” She told her cooks, “hurry, this boy is very hungry,” and made him a beef curry with rice. She said that he was so sweet she was planning on letting him eat for free.
I ❤️❤️❤️ Sun Restaurant in Williamsville. If you end up there, thank them again, from me. For their kindness, and for treating my son like family.
