Get involved in the ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ happening between Monday 27 November and Friday 8 December. There are a variety of ways to donate, give your time and show kindness to someone else.
A host of BU services are involved, including SportBU who are offering the opportunity to purchase a discounted membership for someone else, SUBU will be organising a selection of volunteering opportunities and ResLife will be providing Christmas decorations for halls and the chance to 'donate for a doughnut', this is a great way to help others through BU.
