At Help and Kindness, we believe kindness creates change - from our team to our community. Let’s celebrate compassion today and every day 💛 #WorldKindnessDay

Here's a youngish hedgehog that was trying to walk up a busy road. I took it up to our local churchyard which is full of lovely hiding spaces and no dangerous cars. #TinyJoys

#DorsetCOP2025 is open!

Delegates, facilitators, and speakers are gathering in Sturminster Newton to engage in discussion and action to provide an opportunity for community groups to inspire each other, share experiences and build networks; creating beneficial impacts for all Dorset citizens.

🕰️✨ Don’t forget to change your clocks tonight! As we fall back, let’s take a moment to reflect on the importance of time—time for ourselves, our loved ones, and our community.

One of our core services at #HelpAndKindness is called Dorset's Community Response.

It's a central point of contact for people to get in touch to find help in their local area. It is supported by Dorset Council to work with adults and children's social workers and other partners across Dorset.

The more we have done in our work as Help And Kindness, the more committed we've become to our core mission to link people together. In our work within the food ecosystem, jointly setting up the Feeding Dorset Partnership Sustainable Food Place, we see again and again how much good is happening. 1/

Today is #RandomActsOfKindnessDay!

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Whether it's lending a hand to a neighbour or simply offering a smile to a stranger, every gesture counts. It's important to remember the power of working together to help strengthen our communities.

Today we've created a new LinkedIn group for the #SustainableFoodPlaces network in #Dorset. It links to our "bird table" of ideas and contacts and activities around the #FeedingDorsetPartnership on our website where people can find out what's going on across the county.

After a couple of weeks on @bsky.app I am finding this reset of a social media experience a fascinating journey. A chance to learn more, find new connections, and ask some different questions. Interested to see what happens next.

This interdependence chimes with the #SustainableFoodPlace agenda that we're nurturing in the #FeedingDorsetPartnership; joining the dots between actors and activists, the inquisitive and inspirational, who want to create healthier lives, healthier production, and healthier land. 3/5

So much to enjoy and learn at the #LandAlive conference yesterday. Spending time among brilliant advocates and enablers for sustainability in our food systems. Drawing threads through from microbial life and biodiversity in our soils to healthy food culture for our souls. Roll on day two! 1/5
