Doing our bit for the Community: World Kindness Day
Today, Friday 13th November is World Kindness Day, and what better way to acknowledge the event than making a donation to a local food bank.
World Kindness Day was first launched in 1998 by The World Kindness Movement. It is celebrated annually on 13th November and was set up to try and make the world a better place by celebrating and promoting good deeds and pledging acts of kindness, either as individuals or as organisations.
Therefore, in order to celebrate it, National Hire Solutions Founder and Managing Director Lee Rigby and his wonderful neighbours have made a generous donation to his local food bank at Renewal, Solihull.
In 2019/20 approximately 1.9 million people used a foodbank in the United Kingdom, around 300 thousand more than the previous year. Throughout the provided time period the number of foodbank users has increased in every year, from just under 26 thousand in 2008/09.
Helping Hands Food Bank at Renewal supplies those who are most in need with food, toiletries and other essentials. Contributions help to feed the most vulnerable and every single donation makes a huge difference.
Lee Rigby said:
Renewal is right on our doorstep and we thought that now more than ever is a vital time to do our bit to help the community. Every one is facing their own battle at the moment, whether it is financial, health or mental wellbeing. That’s why every single act of kindness helps.
Well done to Lee, his neighbours and the team!
