On Friday, 30th August, I had the incredible opportunity to be featured on BBC Morning Live to talk about the project. It was one of the most surreal and exciting moments of my life, and I’m so grateful to have had the chance to share my story with a larger audience. Being live on TV is something I never imagined I’d do, but it was such a great experience that I had to write about it!
Nerves, Excitement, and Gratitude When I first found out that I would be on BBC One, I couldn’t believe it! It felt like such a huge platform to be able to speak about the project, and I was both nervous and excited. The days leading up to the interview were a whirlwind of preparation, and I definitely had my fair share of anxious moments. But I kept reminding myself that this was an amazing opportunity to talk about the impact Positivity by Post has had, and the importance of spreading kindness. The team at BBC Morning Live was wonderful and helped calm my nerves. They were so supportive and genuinely interested in what Positivity by Post is all about. That made it so much easier for me to focus on sharing my passion for the project. Talking About Positivity by Post During the segment, I had the chance to explain what Positivity by Post is all about—how it started as a small project to send out care packages to people struggling, and how it has grown into something much bigger. I also got to share some of the heartfelt messages I’ve received from people who’ve been touched by the care packages. These stories are the reason I keep doing what I do, and it was amazing to bring them to a national audience. What made the moment even more special was the focus on how simple acts of kindness can make such a big difference in someone’s life. Whether it’s a kind word or a thoughtful package, it’s all about letting people know that they’re not alone in whatever they’re going through. BBC Making A Difference Award Nomination I also talked about my recent nomination for the BBC Making A Difference Award in the Community Category with BBC Radio Leicester. This nomination was such an unexpected and humbling honor. Being recognized for something that I do out of love and a desire to help others feels amazing, but it’s also a reflection of the strength and resilience of the people who have reached out to Positivity by Post. The nomination shines a light on the importance of community and how we can all come together to support one another, especially in challenging times. Reflecting on the Journey Looking back, I’m so proud of what Positivity by Post has become, and being on BBC Morning Live was a real milestone. The experience reaffirmed for me that there’s a need for more kindness in the world, and I feel even more motivated to continue growing the project and reaching more people. For anyone watching who may be struggling, my message was simple: you are not alone. Whether it’s through a small package of positivity or a message from someone who cares, there’s always a little bit of hope to be found. And that’s the heart of what Positivity by Post is all about—spreading kindness, one package at a time. Thank You for the Support! I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported Positivity by Post, whether by sending in a kind word, nominating someone for a package, or just by spreading the message. Your encouragement means the world to me, and it’s what keeps this project going. And of course, a big thank you to BBC Morning Live for giving me the platform to share my story. I can’t wait to see where Positivity by Post goes next! If you missed the show, don’t worry! You can still catch it on BBC iPlayer and hear more about the project. And as always, if you know someone who needs a little positivity in their life, feel free to nominate them for a care package—let’s keep spreading kindness together! Love and gratitude, Charlotte :)
