Kindness Wins
Kindness wins for all: find out who won a £1000 donation to their chosen charity in our competition with Ecclesiastical
Back in May, we asked Members to let us know about their kind acts in the community and those of their clients for a chance to win a £1000 donation towards a charity of their choice for our Kindness Wins competition in partnership with Ecclesiastical. Unsurprisingly, given the consideration we see from brokers time and time again, there were plenty of entries to choose from, as we saw truly wonderful examples of extending support and kindness to the wider community.
£1000
But, we could only pick two winners from each network:
Jukes Insurance, nominating Anna-Kate Morris
Risk Kitchen, nominating their client, Mitch’s Kitchen
Our first winner for Broker Network was Jukes Insurance, who nominated the daughter of one of their clients, Anna-Kate Morris. 17-year-old Anna-Kate inspired hundreds of people across Worcestershire to knit, crochet, and sew hearts for those in need of a lift when she created the Facebook group Worcestershire Hearts of Joy.
Our second winner for Broker Network was Risk Kitchen, who nominated their client, Mitch’s Kitchen. The vegan food firm donated food parcels to families with young children who were medically vulnerable and shielding, in partnership with charity Ripples of Compassion. Of course, it is this charity that has been chosen as the beneficiary of Risk Kitchen’s £1000 donation.
Over 15,000 hearts were distributed, bringing much needed kindness and love to those suffering across the region through an extremely difficult time. Anna-Kate chose the Rose Peters Foundation to receive the winning donation. The charity supports families with children in intensive care and those coping with neonatal loss, infant loss, stillbirth or miscarriage.

A spokesperson from Ripples of Compassion told us the donation would contribute to two new projects alongside continued support of bereaved parents. These include providing food parcels to support families of children with cancer in hospital, and helping children manage anxieties around their treatment with the development of flashcards.
