What's it all about?

  • An unashamedly positive celebration of small actions. Things we are all able to do, sometimes with little effort, that can make a big difference to the world around us. Things that will hopefully inspire the rest of us to just get stuck in and see what happens. (see here for more info)

Buy one give one to someone else

Tomsshoes_2

TOMS Shoes has a very simple but very concrete proposition: for every pair sold, one will be donated to a child in need.

Probably enough of a (fashion) statement to make enough people buy that it will actually make a difference.

Have a read of what Time has to say about them. Or watch a shoe drop in Argentina...

TOMS is a great cause, and they are taking 40,000 pairs of shoes to children in South Africa this November. If you want to help out, go to www.tomsshoes.com, and you can enter special code "ginny" for free shipping until the end of August.

  • When it comes it small things that make a big difference, I want your help. If you spot anything that fits the bill; or if you're on the receiving end of some small things that have made a big difference to you; or if you're actually doing stuff yourself (don't be shy!)...I want to hear about it. Drop me a line here. Build on a post. Send me links and photos. Whatever might inspire the rest of us to do something ourselves. And I will blog about it.
