Acts of Kindness with GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund

As GALAXY Hot Chocolate launch their GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund, they reveal new research that states nearly three quarters of men and women say that whenever they are on the receiving end of a good deed, they will then carry out on for someone else. An act of kindness is infectious and the GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund aims to reward and highlight good deeds across the country and inspire more people to get involved in heart-warming projects. 

GALAXY reveal that the typical person will do 1.27 good acts every time someone helps them out and a quarter will pass on a good deed at least twice. With this in mind,  it is not surprising that a third of us receive an average of five acts of kindness during a month! 

Michelle Frost, spokeswoman for GALAXY Hot Chocolate says, "Often simple acts of kindness costs nothing but have an immediate positive impact on both those giving and receiving the kind gesture"
