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)

Pink power

Pink_shirt

New boy wears a pink polo shirt on his first day at school - quite fashionable you would think.

Not to those more hard of thinking at the school, who saw it as a clear sign that he was gay and therefore in need of some bullying.

Two older boys wanted to take a stand, and show some solidarity. Their plan was for them and a bunch of friends to wear pink to school the next day as well.

But the word quickly spread, with the result that over half of the school's 800 pupils turned out (in pink) in support. Much to the embarrassment of the boy in question. But then you can have everything!

Shows the importance of just deciding enough is enough, and that it's time to do something. And that, at the end of the day, it's up to you to do it. Because if not one else gets to that point, nothing will ever happen.

Read the full story here. And thanks to Seth for the lead.

  • 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.
