Useful & Kind

Being Useful and Kind is for everyday 

Thinking Global and Acting Local, being self-aware and being Useful and Kind Unlimited with your friends and family, community, team, organisation, sector and as a world citizen, a guardian and giver, rather than a taker, so that our life’s work and purpose is to add, to create and not just to utilise resources. 

Loving and loved.
