“Would like to say a massive thank you to the lovely lady that helped with my daughter in Morrisons this afternoon. You didn’t judge her or me at all! So thank you again ??”

A mother wrote this on the Facebook group Wymondham Ways.

Every day in Wymondham, people do these small acts of kindness. It is easy to scroll social media and see nothing but doom and gloom, but in reality, people do these small-scale acts all the time, and the world is better for it.

As George Eliot said, “the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts”.

And you can find these unhistoric acts if you know where to look.

A mother on Wymondham Ways recently thanked someone at the Leisure Centre who did a kindness for her child. “Have you seen this very well loved toy?” she wrote on Wymondham Ways after her son lost his toy sheep. “Answers to the name of Sheepy and is currently much missed! Hoping someone will have found him and handed him in. ????????”

And they did! This was a tiny act for whoever it was – picking up a toy and handing it in, rather than strolling past, as it is so easy to do. But it makes people much happier. The mum uploaded an adorable photo of her son reunited with Sheepy.

But possibly the best this month was this post written by Amber Hopkins, a story which speaks for itself:

“I stopped and checked on a couple of teenage girls near the police station just now who saw a young deer being hit at the side of the road by a car who drove off. They stayed with the deer which unfortunately passed away. Just to say to the parents of the girls that stayed with it until it passed away [ – ] well done for raising such kind, polite and caring children. At times there can be some negativity about the youth in Wymondham, so thought it’s nice to share when there is something positive.”
