One such big Act of Kindness comes from Kyan in 7Ash.
Kyan took part in a family half-marathon to raise money for the local homelessness charity, New Hope, which is currently supporting 84 people in temporary accommodation. The family decided to run a half-marathon (21km) as a relay with Kyan running 5km. Running the distance in the area around their home (including up a very steep hill) and cheered on by their friends, family and neighbours (ensuring social distance measures were observed), the family smashed their target of £60 by raising over £600!
A huge well done to Kyan who wins the Acts of Kindness Award for this week.
