February has started fabulously with these wonderful acts of kindness we’ve found taking place across the globe, and as these show, it’s not just grand gestures that make a difference, even the smallest touches can make a huge impact. Get involved and share your acts of kindness on social media with #GoshKindness.
1. Stranger pays for elderly man’s petrol
Old man drives into Sainsbury’s petrol station in old car. Paid for his fuel without him knowing. Best part was as I walked past him entering the shop he smiled and said hello, so I know he was a nice guy too. Great feeling.

Craig from Peterborough said he felt great this week after spreading kindness by secretly paying to fill the tank of an elderly stranger’s car at a petrol station.
2. Vet surgery hires a comfort dog
Our hearts melted when we saw this photo taken at a vet surgery in the US. If any poorly pets are having an operation they’re met with a comfort dog assistant who helps calm them before and after their surgery.
3. Calls for mourners draws a crowd of kind strangers to the funeral of Holocaust survivor
A Holocaust survivor in Toronto who had outlived his family, was given a final farewell after his rabbi gathered members of the community to attend his funeral. Zale Newman had expected just a few locals to join him at the burial, but was touched to see 200 people arrive to offer their thoughts and prayers to 85 year-old Eddie Ford, who had passed away after a battle with cancer. The rabbi said; “It’s like the purest act of kindness, the best people could offer.”
