Have you completed and logged your good deed yet?
Electric Ireland’s #PoweringKindness week is well underway.
For the past three years, the company has been inviting the public to do something kind for the people in their life and then transforming the acts of kindness into major donations for three leading Irish charities.
This year the campaign will be donating a whopping €130,000 to three extremely worthy causes; The Marie Keating Foundation, The Irish Heart Foundation, and Childline.
Her.ie are joining forces with the Marie Keating Foundation team and will go head-to-head with our brother and sister sites JOE.ie and HerFamily.ie. It goes without saying that we’re in it to win!
Here are just a few of the famous faces doing good deeds for their chosen charities…

My act of kindness for @ISPCCChildline to win €60,000 is to capture the mice in my house alive & release them in UCD. #poweringkindness
