I have just received this message. Amidst all the carnage and the chaos that ripped through Cardiff last Friday. One little story that restores your faith in human kindness. In the early evening, a group of students arrived at the Accident and Emergency department at the Heath Hospital.,they were weighed down with bags of food and drink. Having seen the events unfold on telly.they had gone to the shops, and with their own money had bought enough food to feed a small army. They had figured that the people involved would be too busy to stop, so they had brought something for them to eat. It was for the doctors, nurses, paramedics, family relatives, police, fire and rescue. It was for everyone. A small act of spontaneous kindness by a group of students who "Just wanted to do something to help" . Having delivered the food , they hung around "In case you needed blood donations". It was a bad day in Cardiff last Friday, but little things like this are so very important.They provide hope in the middle of all the despair.There are a great many good people out there but it seems we only get to hear about the bad., which is why this simple story needs to be shared.

Thanks for that Paula, what a nice story about thoughtful people.

What a wonderful 'story', I find this so touching, it brings a lump to my throat. Great kids to think of all those involved in such terrible circumstances. Just goes to show that most young people (and older people) are in the majority, but the papers often only mentioning the 'rotten apples' in society.Bless them.

terrific!!!

thank you Paula for sharing this with us, it made my eyes leak.

love Jean x

A great story and I think it should be in every paper and on at least the local news.
I had twins who went to this UNI and one never left Wales after he had completed his degree because " it is just so nice to live here'

B in Spain.

There have been some dreadful events in Wales in the last few weeks, and it's easy to get depressed and disillusioned with it all.

A story like this certainly helps to restore faith in human nature.

There is more good than evil out there, and those young people prove the point.

I wonder why this has not been in the South Wales Echo - I shall send it to them now

job done!!! :-D

That's really heartening Paula, thanks for sharing :-D

That is loverly as all we seem to hear about are the disruptive young. Also the thought that they hung around in case blood donations were need. Caring, thoughful young people.

Ann I asked that question too, but I was told it has been verified by a nurse from the hospital. However I am only repeating what someone else is saying.

well we'll see if they cover it - will keep you informed!! :-)

whereabouts in Cardiff are you Paula - I'm in Whitchurch

Nice post Paula.

It also says something about what I sincerely believe is "The British at their Best", in adversity we shine.

Let us see if it is actually true first and not another of these feel good factor that gets passed around .

Ann I am not in Cardiff I live in Birmingham.

right!! :-)

I got lost in Birmingham, coming home from wales......got onto the wrong motorway.......ended up at Leek.

Oh bless you. I got lost coming back from the garden shed. :-D

Lovely story .not all the young people are bad or the oldies .heartwarming to read this Thank you Paula
