In memory of radio
presenter Stephen Clements’ birthday, the Foundation set up in his name, is
launching Stephen Clements Day on December 17 – a day dedicated to random acts
of kindness throughout Northern Ireland.
With a mission to keep the much-loved broadcaster’s memory alive, The Stephen
Clements Foundation was set up as way of continuing to fundraise for the charities
that Stephen supported in his lifetime, with 100% of all donations raised being
distributed among local charities.
To mark the day, on December 17, people are being asked to make a difference to
someone’s day by carrying out a random act of kindness. The Foundation will also be celebrating with
a number of virtual events including a quiz, competitions, prizes, video
memories and much more.
The Foundation is putting a call out to businesses to Northern Ireland to get
involved in the day in their own way. This
can be anything from giving your customers a discount code to free coffee or
tickets.
People can then take a picture of their random act of kindness and upload it
onto social media using the hashtag #stephenclementsday
Stephen’s long-term on-air partner Cate Conway said;
“Stephen was a very kind-hearted, generous and caring person and we wanted to
celebrate his birthday this year by spreading some joy and kindness throughout
our community.
“2020 has
been a tough year for so many people and so in Stephen’s memory we are encouraging
everyone to complete a random act of kindness and, if they can, donate to the Foundation,”
she added.
Gareth Murphy, owner of We Are Vertigo and one of the trustees of the Stephen
Clements Foundation added;
“Stephen supported so many people, businesses and charities throughout his life
and we’ve launched Stephen Clements Day to keep that generosity going. We are asking everyone to get involved and to
spread some joy this festive season.
Keep an eye on the Stephen Clements Foundation’s social media channels
to see what fun acts of kindness we have planned and find out how you can
participate too.”
To get involved, simply carry out a random act of kindness, upload a photo onto social media and use the hashtag #stephenclementsday
