The Somerset Wellbeing Committee made its debut last week during Random Acts of Kindness week, running various initiatives to promote the importance of being kind. Throughout the week, life-sized letters were displayed outside the KIP spelling KIND without the I.

Be the ‘I’ in Kind

This allowed students to take photographs of themselves in the place of the ‘I’, showing how they could ‘Be the I in Kind’. This activity engaged many students and prompted us to think about ways we could show kindness to others.

The Kindness Kiosk was another a popular activity which gave students the opportunity to write notes of kindness and gratitude to others. This helped to generate positive interactions between students and staff and gave us the opportunity to simply let people know we cared. The kiosk was a huge success, with around 150 students participating.

This week has reminded us all of the significance of small, kind acts and the profound effect they may have on the lives of those who experience kindness. Acts of kindness inspire others to do the same, creating an environment of happiness and appreciation for others. Random Acts of Kindness week is a strong reminder of the importance of kindness and how easily it can be shared in our everyday lives, not solely during this fantastic week.
