Share the love for your local businesses by writing them a heartfelt appreciation letter!

Valentine’s Day is a great excuse, but really - any day is the perfect day to spread a little kindness. Your local cafes, shops, and service providers are often the unsung heroes of the neighbourhood. Let’s show them how much they matter.

Ingredients:

• Coloured paper - red, pink, or anything bright and cheerful
• Markers, scissors, and tape or Blu Tack
• A dash of imagination and a sprinkle of community spirit

Method:

• Write a short note to a local business, sharing what you love about them—maybe their great coffee, friendly service, or how they care for their space.
• Use coloured card or cut your note into a heart shape to make it extra special.
• Tape your love letter to the business’s front door or window in the early morning for a heartwarming surprise when they open up, or hand it over in person to brighten their day.
