ABOUT
Random Acts of Kindness
Tom Robbins Somerset
'Giving an umbrella to someone, carrying their shopping, giving away flowers to strangers... It can make your day.'
My campaign
My campaign is to encourage and undertake random acts of kindness. It involves going around helping people whenever I can. I'm doing this because I feel more people should be helpful in more situations. People should be more positive and happier. It's always nice to make somebody smile.
Campaign highlights:
- Meeting so many kind and interesting people: Kate Nash, the Kindness Offensive, Louise Burfitt-Dons and many more
- Persuading over 1000 football fans to hug at MK Dons Stadium
- Putting on my Kindival at Chelsea Art School on 25th April – it was a huge festival of kindness and a huge success!
- Getting so many positive comments from YOU.
How you can help:
- Send me your ideas of more random acts of kindness I can do
- Be kind!
- JOIN MY FACEBOOK GROUP!

If I go to a coffee shop, I sometimes pay for the next persons coffee too, but I ask the staff not to tell them who payed for it - the look on their faces when they realise their coffee is free, is great :)

Amazing! We need more people in the world like you. You should check out Profeta Gentileza from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He used to preach KINDNESS GENERATES KINDNESS - very interesting!

Tom, an excellent campaign, for once a campaign that can have a long term benefit to billions of people worldwide without costing anyone a cent, just a few seconds to smile at a stranger, offer a hand to someone struggling to carry shopping, or to stick on your wellies and help others clear a pond.. what a great way to make new friends and pass on a smile.

Hi Tom, enjoyed your talk at Future Democracy '09 last week. My blog post including your panel session talk is live here: http://tinyurl.com/ykb4brz All the best with the campaign, Mel Poluck.

Hey Tom, you should check out the website "omegle"- I've found it's a great way to promote kindness, and you can even do so anonymously! Best of luck mate x

Check out The Kindness Offensive's story so far, revolving around their talk given at Kindival;http://www.leapanywhere.com/media/show/1516

Thank you for the previous tip on checking out www.leapanywhere.com it's very helpful and means anyone in the uk or abroad can join in with something in their local area although I haven't found something in my area I am continuing to search through events very near me. Thank you Tom for starting up such a great campaign I think this is a really good campaign to bring people closer to one another, it definantly helps the younger people to be a bit more observant, i've always believed in doing something nice not for rewards themselves but to make someone's day that bit better. I love the fact that you have gone that step further and encouraged other people to be kind too. Keep up the good work :D
