The call comes from Shropshire Rural Communities Charity as part of its ‘Shropshire Kindness Week’, which is taking place March 8 to 14.

The campaign aims to share acts of kindness that have particularly helped people during the Covid-19 crisis, and to inspire people to show kindness to someone local who they think deserves it.

Shropshire RCC will also use the week to highlight some of the work done by its volunteers and staff.

Julia Baron, CEO of Shrewsbury-based Shropshire RCC, said: “It goes without saying that the past year has been extremely challenging, but in difficult circumstances local communities come into their own, working together to support each other and look out for those that are more vulnerable.

“Through our work we see many examples of kindness within the local community which often goes unnoticed, so we want to take the time to share and celebrate that.”

Shropshire RCC will be sharing ideas and stories on its Facebook and Twitter pages and is inviting people to get involved by using the hashtag #ShropshireKindness.
