Taking just a few minutes out of your day to do something selfless can offer a glimmer of hope to a struggling person. ✨
You may not think twice about a smile or a cuppa, but it can mean so much more to the recipient. 🎁
And the benefits aren’t just external! 💪
A 2010 Harvard Business School survey found that people who are altruistic are happiest, and further research shows that tangibly kind folks age slower, live longer, and have more energy than others. 🤸♂️
So every morning up until and including Christmas, we’ll be giving you an idea of something generous you can do. 🤗💕
Keeping it simple for your first door, this doesn’t require any prep or special items.
From chats over mugs and takeaway cups can come new friendships and support networks. Offer someone a hot drink today, and who knows what the knock-on effect may be tomorrow.
Come back tomorrow for another festive random act of kindness! 🎄🎁✨

I'm A Celebrity has used live animals in trials since its inception in 2002. They’ve always been pretty gross - but now their inclusion has become a point of contention.
Besides welfare worries, many are tired of tuning in and seeing the same animal-led trials all the time, with dwindling ratings suggesting it is high time for a shake-up.
What’s it like for contestants when things go wrong?
Olympic javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread was a campmate on the 11th series of I’m A Celebrity in 2011.

My parents have kept the habit their whole lives, as did both sets of grandparents before them.
Having started in my early 20s and maintained a box-a-day addiction ever since, in many ways I’m a walking target for tobacco companies.
In theory, that should also make me a target for health interventions, too.
