London - A university lecturer’s good-natured attempt to help neighbours during self-isolation last night became a global kindness movement.

Becky Wass, 32, designed a postcard that is easily popped through the letterbox detailing available help to the elderly.The print-at-home cards then allow the poster to say whether they can help with ‘picking up shopping’, ‘posting mail’ or ‘urgent supplies’. She posted them online under the caption #viralkindness, urging people to share the post and ‘make kindness go viral’.Mrs Wass, from Falmouth, Cornwall, said: ‘It’s wonderful to know that people want to help their neighbours out. I think everyone wants to help in times like this, the postcard idea just makes it a bit easier to do so.’

Mrs Wass said she had not yet had a request for help from neighbours, but was happy knowing that they would feel comfortable to ask for assistance if needed. Becky my wonderful wife came up with a great idea last night, and it's already going viral. Wash your hands, print this, fill it out and pop it in your neighbour's letterbox. Simples.
