The Jewish Lads’ and Girls’ Brigade and the Chief Rabbi are launching a digital social action award for children of primary school age which challenges them to carry out acts of kindness in their communities.
The Chief Rabbi’s Kindness Challenge, which launches this week, asks participants to record 15 good deeds across three “social action areas” — family, school and community.
The scheme will be run on JLGB’s digital volunteering platform, Evolve, which the children will be allowed to use via a parent or guardian’s mobile phone.
Good deeds range from bigger acts in the community, such as taking part in a sponsored walk or entertaining the elderly in a care home, to smaller acts, such as laying the table at home or making parents breakfast in bed.
