Hi everybody!

So I've had a little idea sitting on the back of my head for a little while - I was initially going to follow through with it as a separate club but I feel it would work as a "sub-division" to Little Acts of Kindness.

It's an IC agony aunt type of service - students will IC send their letters anonymously to a hidden part of the school that only the members of Little Acts of Kindness will be aware of (eg. a nook of a wall or the inside of a tree trunk). It's then up to said members to read these letters and answer them, fulfilling the requests/questions/advice the anonymous students are seeking.

Now before we dive into this idea, I want to make sure that this interests most, if not all members of the group - there'd be no point if only one or two other people were interested. In Little Acts of Kindness, our good will should be unconditional

Also, if anyone who is familiar with or is in the Headliner, perhaps they could help give some clarity if a service like this already exists - I don't want to accidentally rip-off something that the Headliner already does (same goes for any other chats/threads etc) - in which case the idea will be shelved.

Otherwise, let me know your thoughts! And if anyone else has any ideas for RPs, gift-giving, IC group meetings etc, you know what to do!

This seems like a great idea Emily!

So I'll sit that one out

Simon Kincaid wrote: 26 Aug 2024, 10:05 Yea, I just don’t like how it essentially makes his already struggling reoccurring column for the article now void. If it’ll be the main drive of the club, Simon will certainly wish them well but I don’t think he’ll be likely to remain in it. He won’t want to try and establish it two places and he’ll feel it isn’t right to try and do it outside of the Headliner when he hasn’t been able to deliver that column for the headliner, even if it was due to lack of submissions and not his fault.

Best with the club, Emily!

"Have you heard of the rumour? Across the grounds, ten hops from the Great Lake, there's a tree with a voice inside! Yes a voice!
They say if you write a confession and place it in the trunk, the tree will leave a reply! It's as if the tree listens to you!
Those in despair will never be ignored no matter how much you cry or how much you struggle!
All you have to do is spill your words and the voice within will heed them..."

An IC underground service where anonymous letters are answered by those in Little Acts of Kindness, tackling issues ranging within self-help and mindfulness to having a bad day and problems too scared or shy to ask for help in person.

Hi...! Me again!

Now that our little "Sub-Division" (The Sanctuary Tree) has slowly but surely been brewing in the background, I think now's a good chance to see how many people are in favour of the idea. I know a couple of yous have already expressed positive opinions on it, but now I'd like to open the floor to the final collective vote!

In typical Yay or Nay fashion, might I ask all members to give either a quick thumbs up or thumbs down on the idea? You don't need to give a reason for your answer though if there's any questions or concerns that you want to share, I'm all ears and will do my best to answer them!

Just to remind yous all;
- The service is unofficial and just for a bit of fun, an excuse to be good listeners to IC characters needing to vent about their struggles
- The service is open to both students and teachers.
- It'll only tackle issues regarding mental health, mindfulness, personal problems and anything else that falls under that category (nothing outside the site rating will be accepted).
- It'll all be anonymous, both the client and responder (as is the nature of the service).

Just pop your answer in the chat and we'll see what happens next! There's no right or wrong answer so just say how you feel about it!
