It’s Random Acts Of Kindness Day today – an annual day in which making small gestures of kindness to spread happiness is encouraged.
And it’s come at a time when people across social media and beyond are urging others to be kind in the wake of Caroline Flack’s tragic death – and sharing the quote ‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind’, which the presenter shared on her own Instagram page.
