Try a random act of kindness
This year we've heard from nearly 200 Aucklanders about our humanity... For the next 8 weeks we will share some of the simple ideas we've heard about how to improve it.
WEEK ONE: Try a random act of kindness.
People have told us they've done the RAK's below... Let us know if you've done one, or add a new idea to the list!:
- Tag someone onto the bus
- Give someone a hug when they're sad
- Pool some money together and surprise someone by paying for their groceries
- Give someone your parking ticket if there's time left on it
