When thinking about how to draw attention to World Kindness Day, Mawnan WI member, Jill Prior, suggested focusing on those driving through the village and asking them to be considerate and aware of other road users and pedestrians, especially children.

In the end the slogan was adapted to reflect the ethos of the day and a banner reading “Please be kind and a careful driver” was placed on the approach to Mawnan Smith.

Leading up to World Kindness Day Mawnan WI, the Brownies and Rainbows had jointly presented cards and plants to members of the village Lunch Club.

World Kindness Day falls on November 13 every year. It is an internationally recognised day for celebrating kindness in our day to day lives and was started in the UK in 2010.
