You don't have to spend money or buy gifts to show old people that they're important. Giving your time is also really valuable. You could help at a fundraising（筹备资金）event, have a weekly video call with a grandparent and look after them when they feel lonely.

Charities work hard to raise money so that they can help people. So dropping some spare coins into a donation box or sponsoring a friend or family member can make a big difference. Don't forget, you can also donate clothes and toys that you've grown out of to your local charity shop.

People always notice a thoughtful or considerate act, whether it's sharing your sweets or making a cup of tea for your grown-ups. Small acts of kindness are a great way to make people feel special.
