What is it? |
|
What’s involved? |
| |
Random Acts of Kindness is a concept that comes from a book written by Catherine Hyde Ryan. It is now being delivered all around the world. Random Acts of Kindness asks you to do a Random Act of Kindness and, if you receive one, you are asked to pass it on by doing something nice for someone else. It’s that easy! |
|
HeadsUp would like you to take the time to do at least one act of kindness for someone else. It can be a friend, a colleague, a member of your family, a neighbour or a stranger. To help you get started, we have a list of Random Acts of Kindness but we would also love to hear your ideas. Let us know by emailing info@headsup.ie and we’ll add them too. |

What’s the link between
Random Acts of Kindness and HeadsUp? |
| |
HeadsUp aims to enhance mental health and well-being. By doing a Random Act of Kindness, you can have a positive effect on someone’s well-being. Giving and receiving an unexpected surprise can positively impact on someone’s self-esteem. There is nothing like receiving a compliment, a gesture of appreciation or a surprise to make you smile, make you feel good about yourself and lift your day. So go on, pass it on! |
|
How do I pass it on? |
| |
So you have decided on your Random Act of Kindness and you know who the recipient will be. In order to ensure the Random Act of Kindness is passed on, download the notification and give it to the recipient of your Random Act of Kindness or, alternatively, you can email it. The notification lets recipients know that they have received a Random Act of Kindness and are asked to pass the gesture on by doing a Random Act of Kindness for someone else. |

Remember |
| |
- Random Acts of Kindness is about the act of doing something nice for someone else.
- It is not about money, it’s about the thought. Random Acts of Kindness that have no cost are just as good as those that cost money. Be creative!
- When doing a Random Act of Kindness for a stranger, be aware of your personal safety and their personal space.
