February, with its emphasis on affection and warmth, offers a great opportunity to reinforce community ties in Fareham and Gosport through simple, heartfelt acts of kindness.
In the spirit of kindness, we teamed up with Solent Mobility Centreto give away a hamper a day to bring happiness into the lives of those in our community. After all, the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach!
Mr and Mrs Fleet, were enjoying a day with their grandchildren at Crafty Makery (a company we work closely with for our Be A Santa campaigns).
Mr Reed who was enjoying a day out shopping.
We donated the hamper to The Dementia Care Hub in Portchester who were running a quiz at their wellbeing group to win the hamper.
Joanne Breton commented on our Facebook post saying we made her day.

Here’s how you can make a real impact in your local area and brighten someone’s day with these simple acts of kindness.
– Offer a Warm Welcome: Begin each day by making someone smile with a sunny morning text or a quick call. Just asking about their day or sending positive thoughts can hugely brighten their morning.
– Share Your Cooking Skills: The smell of home-cooked food is universally welcoming. Cook a bit extra and deliver a meal to someone in your community who might appreciate it, and perhaps stay for a chat to make it even more special.
– Help with Everyday Tasks: Sometimes, the little things can be the most daunting. Offer your time to assist with organising, tech troubleshooting, or even just accompanying someone on a relaxing walk, making their daily life a little easier.
– Create Outdoor Adventures: Organize inviting outdoor activities that are easy for everyone to join. This could be anything from a stroll in a local park, a group visit to a community garden, or simply enjoying some fresh air together.
– Host Entertaining Evenings: Why not organise a neighbourhood film night or initiate a small book club? Choose engaging and upbeat media to foster a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.
– Help With Transport to Events: For those who find it challenging to get around, your offer of a lift can make a world of difference. Help your neighbours attend community events, medical appointments, or just a simple outing.
– Teach Something New: Got a skill you’re passionate about? Share it! From the latest tech tips to crafts and cooking, teaching others can be a rewarding way to connect and give back.
Each act of kindness not only strengthens our community fabric in Fareham and Gosport but also builds a foundation of mutual support and care. Let’s make each gesture meaningful!
