Electric Ireland's Powering Kindness Week kicked off over the weekend and it's running until this Friday 23 January. It's a fantastic initiative designed to get us all being a bit kinder to each other while at the same time helping Irish charities raise some much-needed funds.
This year the campaign will be donating a whopping €130,000 to three extremely worthy causes;
Childline,
The Marie Keating Foundation and
The Irish Heart Foundation. How does Electric Ireland decide who gets the donation? Well, they don't, you and your acts of kindness do.
Simply tell us about your act of kindness on social media using the #PoweringKindness and tag either @ISPCCChildline, @MarieKeating or @IrishHeart_ie. The organisation with the most kindness done in their name will receive the largest portion of the €130,000 prize fund.
As we
announced last week, the HerFamily.ie team is delighted to be partnering with Childline to power kindness for the charity - we're calling on all of our readers to make sure Childline gets the biggest share of the donation!
We sent our lovely editor Sive along to Childline HQ to to check out all of the incredible work the children's charity is doing thousands of children all over Ireland.

Sive kicked off our own acts of kindness in the office by giving us each a little chocolate when she got back from speaking to the lovely ladies at Childline and filed it under @ISPCCChildline. Thanks Sive!
You should definitely do something kind for someone as well this week, because it won't just help the charities, it'll bring a smile to someone's face. Go on, you know you want to...
