Project says it’s cool to be kind

This weekend, people are taking to the streets of Limerick, spreading happiness with every good deed they do as part of a Festival of Kindness.

Organised by Pay it Forward Limerick, a team of local volunteers and businesspeople, the initiative seeks to boost spirits by holding free activities, encouraging people to pay the kindness forward and creating a ripple effect of goodwill.

“The idea has really taken off; so many people are contacting us wanting to get involved,” said festival spokesman Michael O’Mahony.
