Let's celebrate the act of kindness

By Helen O'Shea, SVP National President.

We are a world of 7.8 billion and we have more in common than you might imagine.

We all need the same things; food, shelter, warmth and love, but sadly there is an ever-increasing number who are hungry, homeless, cold and lonely. Giving Tuesday is our chance to redress that balance.

For one day let’s unite for the good of our neighbours, communities and those we have yet to meet who might need our support. Let’s celebrate the act of giving something back, making a difference, changing a life, or simply showing kindness.

The SVP is joining over 3,000 charities and partner organisations in calling for anyone who wants to demonstrate unity for their community and their compassion to volunteer their time, donate money or goods, share skills, or become a member of a charitable organisation, such as the SVP.

If you care about the people in your community, if you want to make a difference, and if you want to put your positivity into action, please donate to the SVP’s Rise to the Challenge campaign, visit www.svp.org.uk/rise, @SVPEnglandWales (#SVPRiseChallenge) or telephone 020 7703 3030. 

Together we can make our communities stronger.
