Peters & BooksForTopics: Random Acts of Kindness Day

Random Acts of Kindness Day takes place each year on 17 February, a yearly event dedicated to promoting a kinder world. The concept revolves around the idea of spontaneous gestures, meaning people go out of their way to do thoughtful deeds for others without expecting anything in return!
To mark the occasion, we're giving the gift of reading this year in partnership with our friends at BooksForTopics. We're asking teachers to nominate a colleague (either at their own school or another school) who'd love to receive a surprise book hamper! We'll send one lucky winner a free box of books for their pupils.
Simply complete the short nomination form below, and let us know which age range you'd like books for. The competition is open to all teachers and school staff in the UK.
But be quick – nominate a colleague by 5pm on Random Acts of Kindness Day, 17 February 2024. The winner will be selected at random after this date.
