Acts have continued to carry our acts of kindness across Chester and North Wales.  A sponsored run was completed just before lock down and over 5000 was raised.  This money has been used to carry our acts of kindness including food vouchers, shopping, a laptop so someone could carry on with their counselling. The kindness boxes have grown in popularity and this has become the main acts of kindness carried out, referrals mainly coming from Countess of Chester and Arrowe park hospitals.
