On 24 February 2016, Sue Ryder spent the day at Victoria station with a 10ft ball of blue wool
-
Sue Ryder staff and volunteers also carried out random acts of kindness
-
The 'connecting thread' event aimed to show that, through simple acts of kindness, you can help someone get through a difficult experience
-
Whether a minor inconvenience such as a train delay or the life-changing loss of a loved one
-
The event also aimed to promote Sue Ryder's online community and support; a safe place for people who are grieving or facing bereavement
-
This new online service provides practical advice, support and an opportunity to share experiences with others who understand
-
The ball of wool was covered in handwritten messages of support; encouraging each other to be someone's #connectingthread
-
People at the station – and on social media – were also asked to share words of support
-
You can view some of the messages on social media by searching the hash tag #connectingthread
