In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes.
If you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is list of ideas to help you.

Requiring some time and research to find the perfect project, volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do.

There are so many opportunities.
Tell someone "I love you". It can be anyone. Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that it's her birthday. Sometimes, in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.
Whether you're creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you're not creative, the recipient will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!
