WHAT started out as a grey day in Galashiels has become full of colour thanks to the good works of local young people.

Members of TD1 Youth Hub have been out in the town today with sunflowers to help brighten the town and spreading a message of kindness.

Single sunflowers can be seen all around the town with tags on them displaying short messages to those who find the flowers.

Sharing to social media, TD1 Youth Hub said: "We've been out and about in our town centre this morning #spreadingkindness, leaving single sunflowers in a variety of random places.

"We hope that the flower and message will brighten up every finders day.

"If you found one - let us know!"

The tags have a number of messages aiming to help bring smiles to people's faces.

Some of the messages include:

  • "Have a nice day"
  • "We hope this makes you smile"
  • "You are stronger than you think"
  • "It's ok to be different"

Anyone who finds a sunflower is encouraged to post it on Facebook and Instagram, tagging TD1 Youth Hub and share their positive message.
