We proudly support the Captain Tom Foundation’s ‘Captain Tom 100’ charity challenge, encouraging the nation to do ‘100 anythings’ — whether 100 push-ups or baking 100 cupcakes — over the May bank holiday weekend (from Friday 30th April to Monday 3rd May). Together, we can continue Captain Sir Tom’s incredible legacy and raise life-changing funds.
We’re delighted to help lift the nation with our own ‘100 Little Lifts’ initiative! The goal is simple: show kindness and share positivity. There are 100 ways to give your friends, family and local community a ‘little lift’ that brightens their day. The lovely thing is, one act has the power to make 100 people smile — all it takes is a click!
To help you on your happiness mission, we have created sweet signs and tailorable templates to share virtually or in real life. Simply click an image to download a PDF and start bestowing little lifts!
10 sweet signs
This series of signs feature meaningful messages (including from the inspirational Captain Sir Tom) which we invite you to download, print and / or share. Be creative — post as many or few as you fancy, wherever you can. The more signs, the more smiles!
Stannah’s suggested spots:
- Share on social media for friends and family who follow you to see
- Print to pop in the window for passers-by to spot
Heartfelt handwritten notes
A personal note to say ‘I’m thinking of you’ or remind a relative, friend or colleague why they’re so special goes a long way — particularly if it’s handwritten. In a technological world where texts and emails are de rigeur, seeing a sentimental scrawl is extra special.

Stannah’s suggested spots:
- Pop in the post or slip through a neighbour’s letterbox
- Hide in the home as a sweet surprise for a loved one (for example; inside the wardrobe door)
Keen to go the extra mile for those smiles? We’ve collated an initial 10 inspirational, inclusive and inexpensive ideas to help you give others a ‘little lift’ here.

In the wise words of a national hero and our cherished customer, Captain Sir Tom, “one step has the power to inspire one hundred more”. Be kind and keep on being you.
