Read Theo’s speech

Good afternoon, everyone. Have you ever noticed how a small act of kindness can change someone’s day? Last Tuesday, Alfie brought me a puzzle when I was feeling worried. We solved it together, and soon we were both laughing. A recent ward survey found that 8 in 10 people felt more settled after a friendly chat. We can all help: we can listen, we can smile, and we can include others. What kind thing will you do today? Thank you for listening.
