Signatures Liverpool Liverpool News and Events
Recently Liverpool was voted the kindest city in the UK, winning over the likes of York, Manchester and Aberdeen.
It proved that Liverpudlians are more likely to hold a door open for someone, hold the lift for someone else and help others with heavy shopping bags than any other group of people.
The survey, commissioned by Travelodge for the Random Acts of Kindness Day on February 17, found a massive 55 per cent of Liverpool residents will perform a random act of kindness. Considering the national average is around the 33 per cent mark, it’s pretty good going!
Of course, we already knew our city was the best and to prove it we’ve put together some reasons why Liverpool is the kindest city in the UK.
