What is it?

The simplest idea.
The boldest journey.

This is a national kindness campaign, the first of its kind, inviting people across the UK to submit their own stories of kindness as Krish skips the length of the country.

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.

The Great British Skip is the next step. 900 miles, one rope, and a country full of people I can't wait to meet.

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.

Coming August 2026

A nationwide kindness story campaign.

When the skip begins in August, we're inviting people across the UK to share their own stories of kindness, the strangers, neighbours and quiet moments that changed something. Submissions open the day Krish takes his first step. Watch this space.
