Minute Change

MEANINGFUL CHANGE CAN TAKE JUST A MINUTE

 minute change logoA small gesture of unexpected kindness is at the core of Minute Change. At times life can be difficult for us all – our aim is to help someone out at least once a month.

Why?

Small random acts of kindness often transform someones whole outlook on life and can have far reaching effects on families and society.

Minute Change encourages a culture of ‘pass it on’ in whatever way is possible and this can often be just a smile or your time – it can also become something more tangible.

It might be…

  • a simple exchange of talents
  • giving away something that you no longer have use for
  • offering financial help
  • becoming a Corporate Champion

Every act of kindness creates a ripple – Never underestimate the power of creating a ripple and who or where it reaches.

 

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across
the waters to create many ripples.”
Mother Teresa
