I've been quite emotional and depressed these past few days and I feel like this would be a good thread to lift peoples spirits a bit.
It might be a major flop but worth a try So yeah the purpose of this thread is to post our recent good deeds, no matter how small or insignificant. Some examples: Donating some money to charity (even if it's £1 it's still worth mentioning!!), Volunteering, Giving a homeless person some food/money, Helping an old lady across the road or giving your seat up for somebody, helping an injured animal on the side of a road, helping an injured insect, helping a stranger out with directions, cheering somebody up who looks upset, etc. |

I buy all my books from charity shops and then take them back when I've finished. Small things all add up
Good thread idea Bex |

This isn't me, but one of my aunt's cats (she has two) originally belonged to her neighbours. When they moved away, they left the cat behind (why the **** would you even do that?). My aunt was already fond of him because he used to wander over to her house every now and again even when he had owners, after he was abandoned she continued to feed him and eventually took him in as her own because she hated to think of him living on the streets alone. He's still happily living there. It's similar to how I ended up owning my cat, actually. She was apparently homeless and, after we fed her one day (we didn't know she was homeless at the time, she was just hanging around so we fed her) she literally never left again . We found out not long after that she had no owners anymore, whether they just threw her out or moved I'm not sure. Anyway, she became our pet after that, we only had her for a year before we unfortunately had to put her to sleep when she fell ill but I'm glad she had a home (and it felt like so much longer than a year tbh). |

The woman who sells the Big Issue next to the supermarket near my work often asks me to get her a bottle of orange juice. I always do even though it's like £1.09

I gave in some tins of sweetcorn and some tinned tomatoes to a food bank today at school for the locaal Wigan food bank for those who are homeless. Oh and I also had some peanut butter what my mum gave me but when I checked it had gone off and you know I didn't want to kill homeless people and land my mum a prison sentence.

This is I consider my best deed though:
- Back in April a boy from the year below me at school drowned in a quarry and it was just really awful and even though I didn't know him that week and we'd only spoke once or twice it really upset me. His family couldn't afford the money to pay for his funeral as they're asylum seekers from Nigeria. I phoned up Asda and spoke to the general manager one day and organised that we do a bag pack at the end of the tills to raise money and I got seven people to come along and help. Me and the others ended up raising nearly £700 for his funeral fund and I always feel really proud of that. |

I've always wanted to do something like that but i've never been good at exercising for long periods of time, so I know I wouldn't be able to finish it. I have so much respect for the people who do it, it must take a lot of hard work and motivation.

It's not really recent but I used to volunteer at the PDSA charity shop for 2 and a half years, and i'm also a blood donor.
Also, Daniel that's an amazing thing to do, well done Last edited by Babayaro.; 29-09-2015 at 09:26 PM. |
