Still time to get tickets for Kindness Unites including the pre-recorded sessions.

You can even catch my talk on kindness and craft. I’ll share more about building connections through craft and how they helped improve student wellbeing #KindnessUnites25 #Kindness #Wellbeing #Craft #Connection
Pre-recorded talks all live today and tomorrow a day of live kindness. I think this is my Christmas!
Get your tickets and watch today and tomorrow...
