Acts of Kindness
This October, in line with Mental Health Week, the City is once again launching the Acts of Kindness in Armadale project to encourage everyone to spread kindness. The City has produced a community kindness card, explaining the benefits of acts of kindness and some simple ideas of how to do it. Those who receive a card are encouraged to do an act of kindness for someone else (or yourself!) or pass it on.
