25 Days of Kindness at Alsop High

In December, Alsop High School launched its ‘25 Days of Kindness’ initiative to encourage young people to be ambassadors of hope and renewal within its school and community.

The school appointed 30 Year 7 ambassadors to ‘be the change they want to see’.

The 30 Alsop ambassadors were young people who achieved more than 200 achievement points since joining the school in the September term.

During the weeks leading up to Christmas, the ambassadors were assigned 25 simple tasks to facilitate kindness on a daily basis.

Their role was to complete a daily act of kindness and encourage others to follow their lead.

Students were encouraged to phone or message someone they may not have spoken to recently.

Other simple acts included a request to wash the dishes or to pick up ten pieces of litter.

Ms Lyndsey McArdle, head of Year 7, said: “We are keen to promote kindness here at Alsop. These young ambassadors are a real credit to both their families and our school.

“They are keen to make their communities better places to live, learn and work.

“Young people can have such a positive ripple effect upon our neighbourhoods. As local hubs schools are catalysts for renewal by fostering communities where everyone can flourish.”

The school has also been planning to work with Together Liverpool to establish a Kindness Hub in Walton as part of the kindness network.
