A man who believes kindness is his superpower has been honoured with a statue at Tower Bridge in London.
Sebbie Hall, 20, from Lichfield, saw the statue of himself, wearing a cape and posing in a heroic stance, unveiled yesterday to mark World Kindness Day. This follows the search for the UK’s kindest person by KIND Snacks, who decided to crown Sebbie Hall as the UK’s 2023 Kind Hero.
He was honoured after carrying out an act of kindness every day during the Covid-19 pandemic, and still continues to do so. But not quite every day. He has gone on to support more than 450 families, including hand-delivering 52 teddies to orphans displaced from their homes in Ukraine when they arrived in Scotland.
Despite living with a rare chromosome anomaly which has resulted in low muscle tone and speech problems, with support from his family he hasn't let the condition stop him. Mr Hall has said his acts of kindness were a way of acknowledging the help he was given in order to deal with his rare condition.
Along with his mum, Ashley, he set up the Sebbie Hall Kindness Foundation - which focusses on helping vulnerable youngsters - and has donated tens of thousands of pounds to individuals and projects in Staffordshire, north west England.
The statue has been created from recycled materials and was produced using 3D scanning technology, and will eventually be taken to its permanent home at The Hub in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
