The Pay It Forward movement has a new home in the UK
Have you ever seen the film 'Pay it Forward'? I was surprised how many people hadn't when I started to talk about it. It is basically about how one good deed deserves another. But rather than returning the good deed to the same person, you suggest they do a good deed for someone else. Therefore they 'Pay it Forward'.
Little did I know until the other day that there is a 'Pay it Forward' Foundation. When I described how I'd done such a deed and tweeted about it. I was amazed and extremely honoured to get a message from Charley Johnson www.pifexperience.org - President of the international Pay It Forward Foundation, offering me the opportunity to represent ‘pay it forward’ in the UK.
Several years ago, Charley created a pay it forward bracelet to serve as a physical reminder to do good, and also to pass on when you carry out acts of kindness. Wearing the bracelet reminds you to be kind to others at every opportunity and then when you are, you remove the bracelet and give it to the person you have just carried out the act of kindness for. In this way, the reminder is passed on and kindness spreads.
We have purchased 5,000 bracelets in order to get them at a low unit price. In order to have bracelets always available we are charging as little as we can for them HERE and recycling the money to buy more. Go to our Pay it Forward Bracelets page to purchase.
Let's get 'pay it forward' rippling out across the UK. Just make one kind gesture and watch the ripple grow!
