So much is going on in this episode! No Dad's were harmed in the making of this episode. What did you enjoy the most? Norman gave me permission to set up a GoFundMe I hope to be able to start with replacing them rotten windows! gofund.me/92e40ebb

Your kindness to Norman warms the cockles of my black little heart. Your Dad is amazing as well. Norman is actually alive again, not lost in depression and just shuffling through his life. His delight over his clean chair was so cute to see. Just having one person to care about him and notice how he was having to live has helped his mental health amazingly. Bravo and well done, you are my favourite You-Tuber! ❤️🇨🇦

Omg,your dad is class,his entrance was hysterical, seeing Norman help was so lovely,and you cleaning neighbours drive because they gave you teas and bacon butties, just shows your beautiful nature,you,yourself always returns kindness,if everyone was like this with each other,the world would be a better place, another brilliant video Ben.xx

So nice to see him outside helping out , it’s clearly making him feel better ❤

So good to see Norman moving around, smiling, interested in life again because you and your dad took the time with him. Making his property nice, safe, and special again. Bringing your friends and family to him and shining a light into his world he is happy and loved. His sweet neighbor bringing lunch for you all reminding Norman he is not alone in life! And helping the kind neighbor with a driveway clean! You are just spreading love every where you go! So glad you made us all a part of this! Thank you Ben!

It was an honor to help out. You and your father have saved not only the yard but also the man. God bless you both. Your parents instilled great qualities in you and will be passed along to your sons as well. In a crazy ME based world it's great to see your light shine forth!

I love all three generations of your family. I donated to help with Norman's windows. You and your Dad are wonderful people.

I think Norman is starting to appreciate the company most of all, and that’s an incredible accomplishment over depression ❤🎉 well done all!

Look at him coming right back to life! Bless you all for taking the time ❤

Love you including and encouraging Norman! Humans need to feel useful and cared for!! A little kindness goes a very long way! Thanks Ben and Dad!❤️

Ben you and your Dad are legends! I smiled the entire 27 minutes of this video! You aren't just helping Norman tidy his home, you're changing his life 🙂 Just watching Norman paint with you guys, share his stories and impatiently waiting to go to the pub ( what a character 😅) , he seems like such a happier man! God Bless you all (Norman's kind neighbor as well). ❤

Ah, Ben. You and your Dad make such a grand team generously working as hard as you do to help others in so many ways. Norman's spirit has been lifted and what a gift that is.

Delighted to make a contribution to comfort and warmth for the lovely Norman. You deserve to enjoy and be independent in your home. Thanks flawless cleaning for giving the opportunity to be part of the team.

Watching "the lovely Norman", and discerning his graditude...reminds me of a sign my mom had on her door. "To the world you may be one person.. But to one person, you may be the world." Continued blessings to you and yours

This is one of the best channels on KZfaq👌 I hope you understand what these wee visits will mean to Norman. His pride will still be screaming at him, but he's learning it's not charity, it's a helping hand👌

Real excited to see Norman helping out! Definitely pleased that he seems to be perking up. Very thankful Norman agreed to a Gofundme page. His house needs a bunch of work. I’m a retired nurse and I know how hard it is to get things done on a limited income. I’m very fortunate that my insurance covered most of my home damage as it is believed to have been caused by storms. I can’t donate this minute but I fully intend to contribute with my next disability check. I truly hope and pray that all of you receive blessings for what you are doing. Too often the elderly are just forgotten about. Edit: Could someone donate 3 or 4 of those plastic stacking chairs that he likes? They are pretty comfortable to sit in and this would allow him to have a visitor or two spend time with him in his back patio. Thanks!

I cannot express adequately the joy you and your Dad bring, along with some chuckles too. Never change, you inspire us all to be better. 💖💖

Firstly, that was so funny with dad at the beginning, what a change from the early days when he wouldn't say anything on camera, its brilliant. Cannot say thank you enough for what you are doing for Norman, what a difference you have made to his life, and a lovely gesture cleaning the neighbours driveway. Its great that you have set up the go fund me acct, hopefully it will raise enough for new windows before the winter kicks in. Great job all, brilliant. Cannot wait for the next time.

As a 70 year old myself , i know what it's like to be alone. It's hard when you own your own home, and all you have is the basic pension. And little in savings. When things go wrong you have to have a contingency fund , for when things break . Things like windows, cookers, roof leaks, electrical malfunctions, washing machines. They all cost money , they all cost hundreds of pounds. Your money can only go so far , i save every week , don't smoke , drink , have holidays, or buy new clothes, i grow my own fruit and veg to save money . I do have children but they work , or live far away , so most contact is online or phone. Your kids are so busy bringing up their own families and working all hours, their time is all tied up , they don't mean to forget you , or visit , it's just how life is now. Us oldies just get on with life, it's easy to fall into that downward spiral of doom and gloom , and you don't know your down , till your down . That's what happened to me . Things got worse for me after my parents both died as i was a carer for them for 13 years. You get used to caring for someone, you have someone around to chat to . Then suddenly it goes quiet . You have to find ways of dealing with the loneliness. I just threw myself into the garden , my passion anyway , and i'm considering getting a small dog , having had many dogs in my lifetime. What you do for Norman is brilliant ! it doesn't take long to lift someone from the doldrums . All we need is a smile, or a hello when out , at least it makes us feel like we are not ' invisible. We are still the people we used to be, when younger . I love football, rock music, keep up with politics , i'm into ufo's, do diy , all be it a bit slower , and more stops for tea , lol but inside , we are still us . I have just donated to Normans go fund me page , his windows are awful , to be honest his whole place just needs a big sort out , we don't have the energy when we get older , and some of us are unsteady and not as strong as we used to be, so keeping up with maintenance of the house is difficult . At sixty, i cut down a 30 foot tree in the garden , a willow , so still trying to do stuff . But yesterday i cut through my hedge trimmer cable , lol , felt a right twit ,. I have a new one now, battery one, much safer . 🤣 Come on everyone, lets get donating and get Norman back on his feet . Well done Ben , you and your dad are angels . xx

This is the world I envisige, everyone helping each other. Thanks to your Mom and Dad and lovey you and your wife for allowing the outro, much much love xxxxxxx

Your kindness is infectious and just what our world needs right now!!

This has been such a lovely and inspiring series. You and your Dad have really gone the extra mile! Wishing Norman all the best. He's such a sweet man and having taken care of my elderly parents I can relate to him on that level. I will say i think he has better stories than i ever will. 😂

You’re not just giving a hand out but hand up. You’re not just doing things for him but changing his life. Like I’ve said before when we’re dead and gone people remember how we made them feel never how much they spent, social status, what we drove, where we worked, all the things people obsess with. They remember how we make them feel.

Loneliness is a real issue in today’s society. Glad you could let Norman know that he is not alone. Love seeing Norman getting involved with the chatting and painting session!

You cannot beat this kind of therapy, Norman is buzzing, bless him 🤗

You have an amazing father 😊 love seeing him be with you ❤ take it all in sir life moves fast.

Wow, NORMAN'S CHAIR LOOKS NEW! hope you washed away some of his depression with all the things you did for him, The railing is wonderful so he doesn't fall off & gives kind of a private patio, hope the rat problem is cured. Just being around you & your dad is great medicine for Norman!

I'm really loving this. I see kindness is contagious. Now the neighbor is included. Maybe after Norman is a fixed up you could find someone else with problems like this. It's just been heart warming. It was lovely to see so many people have already contributed to Norman's go fund me. I bet it's met by the end of the day. Norman is on the way to a come back thanks to you, your dad and others who have helped. ♥

Your Dad knows how to make an entrance! 😂😂 Norman is not the only one who has come out of his shell, your Dad used to barely say hello now he’s doing stunts! 😂

Oh my goodness, will your thoughtfulness never end! Doing the the driveway next door is fantastic!! ❤

The glee on this child's face. I'm so happy your helping Norman

I am seriously in love with your dad! What a hoot! My kind of goofy guy.

Look at dad showing off his skills! The rail looked amazing! So nice of you to clean the neighbor’s drive to repay their kindness 😊 Norman dying of thirst 😂 In other words I’m heading to the pub see you there 😂

You and your dad are changing this man’s life! It’s the power of kindness and it can move mountains. Thanks a bunch!

Seeing the change in Norman in every video is remarkable. You and all of the helpers have gone well beyond a normal helping hand. Thank you for all that you do. ,,👍🏻

Bless him ... he looks overwhelmed sometimes. It's understandable he might have some down days. Your fabulous for helping him 😊

If only the world had more souls like you and your dad, what a difference it would make

Wow what a change with Norm and his outdoor living... amazing guys !!! Big hearts ❤

Your concern about this going on longer than anticipated is unfounded. This is what people need to do. Help those who are less fortunate. Not necessarily with money but time and labor. Maybe you may know some others who might join in and do some more permanent house repairs. This is one of the best things you've done and there is still more there, especially in the garden area. Might even get your boys involved to learn about helping other. These have been some of the best things I've seen you do.

You and your dad are top bricks off the chimney, it's amazing how you go above and beyond to help people. Love how Norman is coming out of his shell and his house is becoming a safe home again 💖💖💖💖💖

As an elderly person myself, it is amazing to see you at work as a kind friendly helpful giving guy. I know what its like to need help and feel a bit hopeless when i cannot do certain things. My heart is smiling. 🇿🇦

That was the best entrance to a video I have ever seen. Your dad makes me laugh so hard I can barely catch my breath!😂 Good to see Norman helping out. He has definitely come a long way thanks to you and your dad's caring hearts. Bless you all 🙏

You are so kind and respectful to Norman. You are patient and listen to him and make him feel so valued. In return, you do that to your viewers. ❤❤❤❤❤. Love to you and your family.

Your boundless kindness is inspiring ❤ Thank you for allowing us to experience your acts of kindness and caring of others. Bless you and your dad. May you prosper and enjoy all the fruits of your love and labor. ❤

Well Norman's is coming along a treat, and he's putting his mark on it. All doing an amazing job and looking after the neighbour as well. Brings people together. Boys having fun,Theo on his bike and Arthur riding shotgun. Adorable as ever. ❤

I enjoyed seeing Norman outside helping. His day had purpose. Your Dad is hilarious, love him🩷🩷🩷. Ben your family is beautiful, their smiles are contagious.

I've stopped watching the news and only watch this instead (along with other stuff that motivates me). My mental health has improved so much. Good on ya, Ben and everyone.

It's so wonderful to watch how much your dream of helping people has grown. The glee on Norman's when he was able to help paint was incredible. He looks so happy. I also loved the inclusion of you cleaning the neighbor's driveway. Positivity is infectious. Your circle of supporters keeps growing.

Dear Ben: You and your Dad have certainly helped to improve Norman's life. You have lifted his spirits and made him happy. Thank you both so very much. God bless you both. Arthur will be a champion cyclist!!!!!

What a treat,a midweek video ,I often wish you did more than one a week just love watching you and your dad brighten people’s lives . Much love and gratitude to you and your lovely family 🙏❤️🙏 your little boys face on the bike , you’re a great dad

I can't decide what's better: the transformation, or your Dads silly hi-jinks.

You and your dad are just the kindest people on the planet. Our planet is lucky to have you both.

You and your Dad are wonderful people and truly a blessing for helping so many...God bless you both❤

It’s amazing what you and your Dad and others have done so far in helping Norman. I’m afraid the inside of his house is going to be another huge job (if he lets you in). Good luck going forward.

Here it is Tuesday after dinner and I sit down to watch the newest video from my favorite British influencer, Josie. No, wait, Ben has posted another "Norman" video - gotta watch that first!!!! There are some very nice homes across the street from Norman's house - those homeowners must be nearly as happy as Norman to see the improvements you are making to their neighborhood. Great work, Ben. Hello from South Carolina.

What an absolute blessing you and your dad is to Norman as well as his neighbors! And what a great dad you are to your beautiful boys! God Bless

Norman has a special place in my heart. He is funny, intelligent and a very caring man. You and your father have made a huge difference in his life. The cleaning is essential, but the heartfelt caring is what is making all the difference. I am definitely going to contribute to his Go Fund Me.

One of my fav videos by far. Not only are you and Dad doing extraordinary work but having Norman help was so inspiring. He gets to contribute, be one of the guys, feels sincere care and knowing he counts to someone has brought such a remarkable change. Love you and Dad's comedy, 😅 but you know what shines through ? The obvious joy doing what you and Dad show, it makes my heart fill.

Your kindness to Norman is amazing Ben and Dad, you can see the difference in him already.. hope the go fund me goes through the roof! 😊👍🙏🏻🥰

I absolutely LOVE what you are doing for Norman. So wonderful.

Wow, this episode meant 27 minutes to chill, laugh, enjoy, feel good, reflect, be inspired. From dad's grand entrance and on; I couldn't help but to watch the white chair segment a few times; Norman's reaction to it and the many ways he's regaining his real self in this whole process is pure joy to watch; and now helping with wood stain I think will do wonders for himself. Well, the kind neighbor got exactly what he deserved, well done guys! And the outro, I saw myself in Arthur's flying joy! And finally, great idea about the gofund me.

This has warmed my heart, what a wonderful world it would be if we all lived this way helping our neighbours all helping each other. ❤

An old man who is as strong as a young man I feel a lot of respect for him 🥰

We love this series on Norman. And your dad is funny, awesome, and a real stitch!

I wish more people would help others like you do. You go beyond helping you are an inspiration.

Ben your dad reminds me of my dad. That was the kind of stuff he would do on days off from work. He called it play time. Bless you and dad for helping sweet Norman! Love to you and your family from an old grandma from Indiana USA 💕

Did you know that Your a ray of sunshine 🌞 to those in need 🌟😁 I love your dad he's so sweet 💗 Please give our best to Norman And Thank you so much for helping Him aw thank Your mum for the Shirts for Norman that was very kind Truly bless you 🙏🏼and your wonderful family 🥰🙏🏼💐

Mate you are Helping the whole block !!! 😊😊😊

By the way , your kid on the bike with you going so fast , was so good to watch, boys do like their speed, lol you have a wonderful rapport with them both , we need good parents in this day and age , that teach kids the right things, that interact with them and show how to be kind towards others . x

A little kindness and compassion can go a long way. Not only have you let the light back into the garden, but Norman has light back in his life with a wee twinkle in his eyes.

Ben, you and your dad are constantly going the extra mile for people. You two bless everyone you meet.

Wow! Just wow! Ben, you and your Dad are just fabulous. From the fence (Paul can you come and create one for me), to the white garden chair to the drive clean for Steve. Unbelievable! You are such kind hearted souls helping Norman as well as all the other vulnerable people in your community. Seriously, when will you be receiving an award for your dedication and help. 🤩 Great Little Family too! ❤️

Thank you for helping out Norman. The bike riding with your little man was awesome.

Wow, Norman is like a new man. Just shows what a bit of help plus care and companionship can do. So nice to see him out and getting involved with the posting. Your dad did a splendid job with those railings. Much safer for Norman now. Theo is so fast in his bike now - rocket boy! I love how enthusiastic both the boys are and how much they enjoy the speed and movement. Having fun and making memories together - just the best. They will remember fun with dad when they are grown up! Have a lovely week Ben 😊

Love it when you're father helps 😊

What a wonderful video- lovely to see Norman out and helping paint. I was quite moved to see that he had tried to spray paint his fence himself. It may have been a bit of random red spray paint but I think it symbolised just how much of a change having some help and company has made to him. Also I’m glad to see Norman has a kind neighbour looking out for him as well! 😊

I’m just overwhelmed in a very good way to tears!The Golden Rule is at work and love for neighbor! Awesome!❤😊

Amazing Guys! It was really nice to see Norman getting stuck in, he has a true neighbour helping out and in return a driveway clean. I hope you all had a relaxing pint. Your boys are stars in the making! Apologies with my typo in live chats earlier.

Good lord Ben. You and your pops and uncle really outdid yourselves with this one. Brilliant work and I am sure Norman is over rhe moon with this. So glad he accepted the go fund me. The railing turned out great. Good on you for cleaning the neighbors drive as well. Thank you as always for sharing this with the world.

hey Ben . LOVE your videos . Your Dad's entrance was hilarious . You guys are amazing . God bless . Mark (Toronto) 💙

It‘s a joy to see you interacting with people and especially with your kids. God bless!

Just donated, you and your dad are lovely people helping out Norman.

You and your dad our beautiful people we need more like you in this world ❤

Watching the improvements made my day. Bless you all for your hard work and compassion. Bless the neighbour for kindness too. All the best to Norman, enjoy, you deserve this!

I love your dad! He's hilarious. Both of you are so awesome and generous for helping him and everyone else you help. It was nice to see Norman out and about a bit more.

One good deed deserves another ... how nice of Norman's neighbor to get involved and spread a little kindness in the form of tea and sandwiches ... and you again spreading your own kindness his way as thanks. I sure hope that this spreads out and ripples like the proverbial drop of water that will turn into an ocean - a small river in that neighborhood , not only extending kindness to Norman but other elderly, lonely people who went unnoticed so far. That would amount to a small miracle! It's really great that you got Norman involved in the work, too. It's important to get him busy 😉Thanks from Germany for getting this started, Ben, and thanks for and to all those that are assisting you and a big hello to Norman!

Wow what a difference it all makes & your kindness is wonderful. You can tell how happy he is I hope it continues to motivate him to clean the inside as well. God bless you and dad & to all that helped.

6:50 Amazing Ben. Your dad is a handy man as well, I didn’t know that. Bless both of you for your kindness to make Norman live better life. ❤ from Brunei Darussalam.

The first video you did with Norman I could just see that he needed someone. In such a short time he has been changed by your kindness & compassion. It's more than just a little yard. When I found your videos I thought I was just gonna see driveway refurbishing but its turned out to be a whole lot more. Your community is blessed to have you

Love the way you always surprise people who are kind to you mate you and your dad are legends

Lovely that you've set up a Go Fund Me page to help with the serious problems like his windows that are okay in the summer but must be so hard to cope with in the winter. Happy to donate.

Norman is a superstar!! Much love and big hugs from Tennessee!!! ❤

Love your father's entrances. Bet if you brought your children over to Norman's, he'd really be happy and lose some depression

You both are truly awesome and may many blessings come to you both🎉❤

Glad you are working on some major issues of Norman's home and that your Dad is handy with tools. Like the idea of the fencing before the drop-off, and cleaning the roof tiles and gutters is spectacular. Good Norman humor now, "Do you want me to clean it? (chair)", "Yeah, but wait 'til he gets off it!" Excellent, he gets to help with painting. Very kind of the neighbor offering the bacon sandwiches. Nice round of help going on. Good rescue for the neighbor with the drain cleaned. The neighbors drive and wall turned out well. The Go Fund Me to be able to do things like replace broken windows was a good thought. Nice handle grip for Arthur to hold on with. Best to all.

You and your Dad,are the kindest people,we need more of you in this world!!!!!Bless you both,hearts of gold! It sure would be nice if a Cleaning Service would offer to clean inside Norman’s home,that would help him out even more!!,CHEERS “ MATES”! 🥰💞👍👏🇨🇦You go ABOVE and BEYOND!!!What you did for the neighbour was remarkable,returning kindness!! You are raising two boys also,that will be “fine gentlemen” ,,someday just like their Dad and Grandpa!!💞🥰👏👏

You and your father’s kindness always makes me smile, and the stunt work is hilarious 😂 see you fellas on the next one🙋🏻‍♀️sounds like Norman is a headbanger just like me.

Proof positive that one act of kindness leads to another! Wonderful, inspiring video Ben!

What a terrific video! Your father’s entrance was a hoot! Making the railing and staining the wood really made the backyard look sharp. And then repaying the neighbors kindness, OUTSTANDING!
