WORLD Kindness Day, observed annually on November 13, is dedicated to the promotion and celebration of acts of kindness.
The history of World Kindness Day dates back to 1997 when the World Kindness Movement held its first conference in Tokyo, Japan, to bring together like-minded organisations from around the world. It is a day of celebration in many countries, eg, Canada, Australia, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. It was not until 1998 that the day was established as an annual event.

The day reminds us of the powerful ripple effect that acts of kindness can have on an individual, a community and the world as a whole. The beauty of this occasion is that you can participate in any act of kindness you choose. It could be something as simple as giving a compliment on someone’s outfit or sending a text message saying good morning to someone you care about.
To commemorate this day of awareness some Caxton Local Media team members shared their stories about the kindness they have experienced during their time with Caxton Local Media.

Small acts of kindness, whether they come in the form of a simple chocolate or a thoughtful evening message, have a profound impact on the work environment. These gestures, both big and small, play a crucial role in shaping a workplace culture that is not only supportive but also radiates positivity. Discovering a reliable network of individuals who offer support and understanding has undoubtedly added a fulfilling dimension to my professional journey.
Kindness possesses a remarkable quality that extends beyond the workplace and seeps into our personal lives. It creates a positive ripple effect, fostering a sense of community, cooperation, and understanding. Observing the significance I place on these connections and witnessing the positive transformations they’ve brought to my professional path is truly uplifting.
