What is World Kindness Day?

World Kindness Day was created in 1998 by The World Kindness Movement and its purpose was simple – to spread kindness and make the world a better place through the act of giving. Currently 28 nations around the world are involved in The World Kindness Movement, working towards a kinder and more compassionate world. 

In the United Kingdom, World Kindness Day was first organised in 2010 by Kindness UK and it encourages people to get involved in a variety of events, pledge acts of kindness and support charitable causes and local communities.

Results

Thanks to our customers we raised £106 for HideOut Youth Zone.

HideOut Youth Zone is a new youth charity based in Gorton, Manchester. HideOut opened in September 2020 and has since provided a safe place for more than 3,500 young people aged 8 – 19, and up to 25 for those with additional needs, to enjoy their leisure time. They offer a wide range of fun and engaging activities, including sports, music, dance, arts, cooking and drama. Employability workshops are also available for those who need help getting into employment, education or training, and our enterprise suite and business links inspire them to dream big and develop their entrepreneurial skills.

Comment from HideOut Youth Zone

Supporting HideOut is your chance to be part of the Youth Zone story, changing the lives of thousands of young people. Financial support means that we can provide a first-class offer, providing Manchester’s young people with somewhere to go, something to do, and somebody to talk to. – Jessica Walker, Corporate Fundraiser
