Dear Residents,

Mandela Day is on the 18th July! 

Let’s honour Madiba’s legacy by reaching out in Kindness to our neighbours, our Community and beyond.
 
Consider dedicating 67 minutes to service, whether it’s volunteering at a local charity, an animal shelter or donating to those in need. 

Reach out to your neighbours. Make someone a meal, buy someone a coffee…Call someone you lost touch with… 
Help clean up our Village, your street????
 
Just know that every small act of kindness you initiate makes a huge impact. Your action creates a circle of positivity, as you have made someone’s day better and that feels intrinsically good!
