Nearly 2 years ago i posted on Reddit with an idea to help support the massive number of people sleeping on the streets in the UK. I received a hugely positive response to my post – so i took that and have been building a map to help them ever since. I quickly realised that this could help people all around the world the map is now a global map
The January Kindness Auction is over ..and it was a HUGE success, we raised £177.50 in total, with half going to support our positive action projects, and half going to support a small charity, The Equality Trust, as chosen by the most successful Positive Action Auctioneer Aoifie, whose diet and healthy living advice raised £51
A Huge thank you to everyone who joined in our Kindness Auction in October. The offers receiving the highest bids were made by Hannah Marie and Slava Nova, (both offering massages) and together they selected The Connection at St Martin
What bargains did you complelely miss?These wonderful offers received no bids this month, dont forget to check back next month, there are some real bargains and its all for great causes!
It takes less than 5 mins to set up a Positive Action Activity, and less than 5 seconds to add some Positive Action into your day, so why does nearly everyone i meet say they are too busy? this is the biggest challenge we face at Focallocal
Here’s the route and itenary of the Focallocal Road Trip4 Connection.
It still needs a little collective magic to make it work and you can be a part of making it happen, do you;

The money was clearly gone (although I have spent many, many hours searching every corner of the van), and complaining about it wasn’t going to solve anything, so we headed out to meet our friend in Paris, the lovely Dora, who is probably the most enthusiastic and permanently happy person i’ve ever met..
