Support us

There are many ways you can support us and be a part of the Small Acts of Kindness family.  Whether you want to volunteer your time, make a regular donation, run the marathon in aid of Small Acts of Kindness or are a company looking to make a real impact in your local community, we would love to hear from you!

Our work simply couldn’t happen without the incredible support and kindness of our volunteers, donors and partners. Get involved and you can help change the lives of thousands of people, making them feel less lonely, warmer in their homes and better connected to their community.

Together we can make a difference, one small act of kindness at a time.

Volunteer your time

Time is precious to us all and one of the most valuable things you can donate. If you’d like to be a part of our volunteer family, who help make a meaningful and lasting difference to thousands of people’s lives, then we would love to hear from you.

“As I was packing the bags I knew each bag would bring a smile to somebody's
face and that makes volunteering so worthwhile”
"I had a lovely morning with a group of friendly people. It is such a simple act for a couple of hours that hopefully will make a difference to many peoples lives. I would definitely love to volunteer again!"


Donate


Your gift means we can continue to change the lives of some of the most vulnerable older people in our community. Our work is only made possible by the generosity and kindness of our donors and partners. Each bag costs £35 and helps to heat the person, when they can't afford to heat their home. Every gift, large or small, regular or a one-off makes a difference, and we thank you for your support.

To make a donation, please click on the donate link above. 

“I felt so thankful as there is so much in there that will help me. Especially when it comes to staying warm”



Wish list

To sustain and increase the reach of our organisation so that we can continue to make an impact in our community and a positive difference to the lives of older people, we rely not only on items that fill our gift bags, but a vast array of support services.

Our wish list is exactly that.  A list of services, products and skills from donations of blankets and mugs to logistical or marketing advice. To see how you can help please click here. 


Community fundraising

Are you looking for a challenge and interested in giving back to your community at the same time? There are so many wonderful things you can do, from bake sales to sponsored dances, marathons, coffee mornings and much more. If you would like to fundraise for us and help support thousands of older people who are lonely, isolated and struggling to keep warm in their homes then we would love to hear from you. 


Community partners

We are very fortunate to work with many local and countywide groups and community organisations, so that together we can provide an integrated service to reach and meet the needs of older and vulnerable people. Please get in touch if you, your organisation or group would like to help us to connect communities with kindness.


Corporate support

The incredible support offered by our corporate partners makes a huge difference to our work.  We love working with people who understand and share our passions and we draw huge strength and confidence knowing that they are right by our side on our exciting journey.  

We spend time to get to know you and your company so that together we can make a real difference. A partnership with Small Acts of Kindness means you will not only be making a meaningful and lasting impact to your community but to your organisation as well, one small act of kindness at a time.


Leave a legacy

Leaving a gift in your Will to Small Acts of Kindness is one of the most meaningful ways that you and your family can support our work in the future. Once you’ve taken care of your loved ones, please consider leaving a legacy to Small Acts of Kindness.

It doesn’t matter how large or small, every gift helps us to support those most in need. It’s a chance to make a lasting impact on thousands of older people who are lonely, isolated and cold in their homes.
