Weekly Challenge - Do Something Warm for Someone!

Heyo all!

Another Youth Voice group called the Comms Committee are doing some wonderful content and work, which is entirely young person led, this winter period. One is setting themselves the challenge to do something warm for someone this period.

Some suggestions might be checking in on someone, buying them a hot chocolate, making them a Christmas Card - even just planning something nice to do together!

This can be for anyone and can be as big or small as you like - so for the next week, try to do something warm for someone and report back here using a comment on this post!

    This makes me think of something warm someone did for me - one of my close friends lives 5 minuets away and she was flying home to see her family for Christmas but before she left she popped around to give me lots of fruits and veggies she had that she didn't want to waste. It felt so lovely to be able to do a neighbourly thing like that, and my fridge is now stocked for free! I felt very grateful!

    I hope to return the favour and put some warmth out there into the world soon!

    Love this! @Leyla and what a great gresture from your friend @Sian321

    I'm definately going to be think of some things I can do more often...I've been meaning to go through my wardrobe and find things I don't need and donate them to a local charity shop, it's been on my to-do list for a while but this has motivated me to get it done!

    oh i love this idea too - and the donating route seems like a good call. i know i've got things i need to clear out too so maybe i'll try getting that done over the next day/week.

    or maybe donating to foodbanks with those trolleys they have in supermarkets where you buy something then put it in as you leave :3
