Spread Joy on Random Acts of Kindness Day

Random Acts of Kindness Day (17th February) is a wonderful opportunity to bring people together and create positive experiences for your attendees, loved ones and strangers alike.

But what is a random act of kindness? 💛

A random act of kindness can be anything you believe to be kind, such as saying something kind to someone, helping a stranger, or simply offering a smile. Sometimes, even showing yourself kindness can have a ripple effect on your wider community. These "small" gestures can have a big impact, spreading positivity, making someone's day a little brighter, and inspiring others to do the same. As an event organiser, you can use this day to encourage generosity, community spirit, and feel-good moments.

We have put together 7 Bookwhen ways that you can incorporate kindness into your events and inspire your customers:

1. Offer ‘Pay It Forward’ Bookings 🎟️➡️💝

Encourage attendees to purchase an ticket for someone who might not be able to afford it. This could be for someone they know, or you can introduce a donation-based booking option, allowing others to contribute to a free spot for someone in need.

2. Host a Free or Discounted Event 🎉💚

Consider running a special free or discounted event to give back to your community. Whether it’s a yoga session, a creative workshop, or a family-friendly activity, this gesture can help spread kindness and inclusivity.

3. Partner with Local Charities 🤝❤️

Collaborate with a local charity and donate a portion of ticket sales, collect food or clothing donations, or raise awareness for a good cause. This not only supports your community but also adds meaning to your event.

4. Surprise Attendees with Small Gifts 🎁😊

A simple thank-you note, a small discount for a future event, or a complimentary treat can brighten someone’s day. These little surprises can leave a lasting impression and encourage attendees to pass on the kindness.

5. Create a ‘Kindness Wall’ or Activity 📝✨

Set up a board where attendees can write positive messages, share gratitude, or pledge a kind act. Alternatively, organise an activity that encourages teamwork, support, and connection.

6. Promote Random Acts of Kindness Beyond Your Event 🌍💞

Encourage attendees to continue spreading kindness by suggesting small gestures like helping a neighbour or supporting a local business. You could even run a social media challenge to inspire others to take part.

7. Share Feel-Good Stories 📖💖

After your event, highlight moments of kindness on your social media or in your email updates. This helps keep the positive energy going and builds a sense of community among your attendees.

Embracing Random Acts of Kindness Day is a great way to make your events even more meaningful. Whether through small gestures or bigger initiatives, every act of kindness can make a difference.
