World Kindness Day

World Kindness Day and Anti Bullying Week are annual events which take place in November and this year, perhaps more than ever, we need to ensure we spread the message of kindness and tolerance.

Kindness Day UK is celebrated nationwide annually on November 13th. It is a day to celebrate and promote kindness in all its forms. World Kindness Day falls on the same day and unites people in kindness globally.
