Since the launch of our Be Kind Maroondah campaign 18 months ago, we have been amazed and inspired by the many people, businesses, clubs and organisations who have jumped on board and shared kindness to others in our community.
From a community book exchange, handwritten letters from children to residents in aged care; inspiring stories like Sarah's treasure garden and the Where's Wally in Heathmont, plus the many simple random acts of kindness, our campaign continues to amplify positive moments happening in neighbourhoods right across our city.
We want to encourage this positive community spirit to continue by 'paying it forward' through our Acts of kindness project.
To be part of the project, simply send us a short video (20 seconds to one-minute) or photo or two about a volunteer project or activity that has come about during COVID-19. In can be one you've started, one you participated in or one you have heard about.
Our aim is to develop a suite of inspiring community kindness stories to share with our community.
Research has shown that helping others through volunteering and kindness can improve self-confidence and overall mental wellbeing.
