In celebration of Bullying No Way Week, the Burdekin Shire Youth Council is excited to announce the ‘Community Notes of Kindness’ campaign, running throughout the month of August. The initiative aims to spread positivity and kindness within the Burdekin community, encouraging everyone to participate in simple acts of goodwill.
During Bullying No Way Week, from 12-16 August, the Burdekin Shire Youth Council invites all community members to participate in this positive campaign. The steps to participate are simple:
1. Collect a ‘note of kindness’ from various locations around the Burdekin including Ayr and Home Hill Libraries, cafes, schools, and businesses - look for the signs; they’ll guide you to where the cards are located.
2. Take a moment to write a kind message for a friend, loved one, teacher, co-worker, or even a stranger. You can choose to keep your note anonymous or include your name.
3. Leave the note of kindness to brighten someone’s day.
Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said in times where negativity can often dominate, small acts of kindness can make a significant impact.
“We hope this campaign not only brings happiness but also fosters a compassionate and supportive community,” Cr Dalle Cort said.
