🤗 It’s #RandomActsOfKindnessDay

🌞 Brightening someone’s day with a little bit of kindness can be as easy as, calling a friend to see how their day went, or offering someone a cup of tea ☕

Let us know what you’re doing today to spread some kindness ✨

Because nothing says true love like shared ownership, collective action, and community building.

It’s not always easy to know what to say when someone you care about is going through a rough time. But reaching out, even with a small text, can remind them they’re not alone.

Here’s a few message ideas 👇

Fact: Blue Monday was made up to sell holidays in January.

We know it’s not real and that bad days can happen any day of the year. Join us in celebrating #BrewMonday today instead! Grab a cuppa and check in on someone you care about ☕

Of course we’re bringing Brew Monday back for 2025 😎 1 week to go!

Watch this space because we’ll need your help again this year binning off the Blue Monday myth and making space for ✨Brew Monday ✨instead.
