Why I'm doing this

One man, one rope, and a lifetime spent learning that kindness changes everything.

I'm Krish, a storyteller, speaker and Captain of Kindness. From a short football career, to running 115 miles for a school in Uganda, to swimming the Lake District for people experiencing homelessness, to being an entrepreneur, every chapter of my life has taught me the same thing: when we share our stories and show up for each other, ordinary moments become extraordinary.

I have now completed The Great British Skip: over 1,020 miles, 39 marathons in 40 days. Thank you to everyone who helped along the way. There is so much more to come — and I would love you to keep being part of it.

Why it matters

In a country that often feels divided, kindness is the thread that holds us together.

We cannot ignore the challenges facing our communities. But neither should we overlook the thousands of acts of kindness happening within them. The Great British Skip is a journey to find, share and celebrate those stories.

The next chapter

A nationwide kindness story campaign.

The skip is complete, but the stories keep coming. We are still inviting people across the UK to share the strangers, neighbours and quiet moments of kindness that changed something. Your story could inspire someone else's next act of kindness.
