Today is World Kindness Day, a day celebrated around the world with random acts of kindness and good deeds.


At the Red Box Project, we run on kindness. And we know the difference tiny acts can make to people?s lives.


Like that packet of pads someone kindly donated in an office collection a couple of weeks ago. That was kindly packaged up and sent to us by their Marketing Manager. That was bagged up last night by one of our coordinators and today is being delivered to a big south east London secondary school. Where one day soon, a girl will start her period in the middle of a lesson. With nothing in her bag, she?ll go and ask for the Red Box and she will find that pack of pads.


And because of that tiny moment of kindness in a central London office a few weeks ago, she?ll carry on with her day. Thinking about what she?s learning. Doing sports. Joining in with her friends. Preparing for her future.


That?s the power of kindness.


If you?d like to celebrate World Kindness Day with us today, you can...


❤️ Drop a packet of period products into your local donation box. You can find your nearest listed here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?


❤️ Donate ?5 to us so we can buy some fresh underwear to put in our boxes https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfund?/redboxprojectselondon1




See how good it feels ❤️

It?s official: the John Lewis advert is out. Christmas is coming!

?

We want all of our young people to have a great Christmas. To help make sure their period doesn?t get in the way, we?ll be working with all of our schools to ensure they have a top up of donations before the break and can send girls off with what they need for the whole holiday.

?

So when you?re planning your Christmas jumper, your Christmas PJs and your Christmas Eve movie, please think about putting a pack of pads or even some special Christmas pants into one of our donation boxes. Or why not consider a reverse advent calendar or Christmas office collection to support local schools? We can send you posters so you have everything you need.

?

Your support will make a great difference to young people in south east London.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
