Celebrate Random Acts of Kindness with Your Community

Random Acts of Kindness Day (17th Feb) is the perfect opportunity to celebrate connection, creativity, and generosity. It is a chance to encourage small, thoughtful gestures that can make a big difference, no matter how simple they may seem.

With a few thoughtful touches, you can turn everyday sessions into something memorable, helping your community feel appreciated while keeping your admin simple and stress-free. We have put together a few ideas to help you get started:

Ideas to Make Your Events Stand Out

1. Offer themed sessions or experiences 💌

Give your classes, workshops, or events a kindness-inspired twist. This does not need to involve a full redesign. Small changes can be enough to set the tone.

For example:

• Turn a regular class into a gratitude-focused session with intention-setting exercises or reflection prompts
• Add short kindness activities to the start or end of a workshop
• Run a craft session where participants create gifts or cards for others

These thoughtful details help create a sense of purpose and connection, showing participants that the day is about more than just attendance.

2. Encourage giving to others 💐

Kindness grows when it is shared. Invite participants to bring a friend, family member, or neighbour along to your session. This can be especially effective for people who may feel nervous about attending alone.

You could also offer a “gift a class” option, allowing customers to treat someone else to an experience. This is a simple way to help your community spread kindness beyond your events.

3. Add personal touches 🤲

Personal touches can make people feel truly valued. Small additions such as welcome notes, thank you messages, or kind prompts during sessions show that you care about each participant’s experience.

You might include:

• A short thank-you message in your confirmation emails
• A handwritten note at your venue
• A closing message encouraging participants to do one kind thing that day

These moments help build stronger relationships and encourage people to return.

4. Highlight community spirit

Random Acts of Kindness Day is a great opportunity to celebrate the positive energy within your community.

Share stories of kindness from previous events, invite participants to share their own experiences, or feature small moments on your social channels. This helps create a sense of belonging and reminds people that they are part of something supportive and uplifting.

5. Promote early and clearly

Let people know about your kindness-themed events in advance so they have time to plan and share. Use your social channels, emails, and newsletters to highlight what makes these sessions special.

Make sure your booking links are easy to find and simple to use. Clear information removes barriers and makes it easier for people to get involved.
