The premise of Pay It Forward is one that any person can implement in his or her own life, at any time. It begins with doing a favour for another person-- without any expectation of being paid back. Indeed one would request that the recipient of that favour do the same for someone else: ideally for three other people. The unconditional favours can be large or small. As the author observes: it doesn't have to be a big thing. It can just seem that way, depending on whom  you do it for

Christmas 2002 we purchased the Scout and Guide headquarters in our hometown. This was turned into a community centre and is being used as a base for Pay It Forward UK. Several other groups are also benefiting from the hall.

Pay It Forward in the UK was started in 2002 with the kind help of Catherine Ryan Hyde in the United States and Maureen Geddes a founding member of the movement in Canada.
