Random Acts of Kindness Day

A small act of kindness can turn someone’s day around. Christine Rogers, one of our drivers at Conway Street, has been spreading kindness across Brighton & Hove through inspirational post-it notes since she started with us in August last year. Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, so we caught up with Christine to find out where this idea came from, how she does it and what the reaction has been.

“I stick the post-its on the plastic screen just above the ticket machine for all to read,” Christine explains. “My reason for posting these inspirational notes is that in 2022, I had three close family members die very close together. I felt really down and thought I hope nobody feels like me. I saw a couple of quotes online and went from there. If I get one smile, that makes my day.”

Christine adds: “So far, I have had lots of feedback from people thanking me, telling me they needed to read that today. One young girl got off at Varndean College and passed me a piece of paper that said, 'Thank you for spreading the kindness, you are a star'.”
