Ideas Into Action

For ten years, the Gathering of Kindness has shown that great care can be cultivated. It can be built into how a team works, measured to show it’s making a difference, and taught so it grows. That makes it not just inspiring, but achievable.

This year’s event gives you something to do: an activity to complete, a promise to make out loud, and a date to check back in.

  • Individuals will leave with actions to nurture themselves.
  • Teams will collaborate and try new ways of working.
  • Leaders will listen, reflect and make changes of their own.

 

What Awaits You:

The Gathering this year is a little different. Drawing on ten years of research, real stories and lived experience, the program focuses on driving change at the local level – within your own workplace, and aims to inspire tangible outcomes.

Each day of Kindness Week features a one-hour activity that pairs short inspirational videos with hands-on exercises, inviting teams to draw on their own knowledge and collaborate on solutions that fit their own workplace.

This year, subscribing organisations can run sessions whenever suits their teams; materials will be  available ahead of each day, with no set session times to work around.

This Kindness Week, turn what you already know into positive change. Every step, small or large, helps build a kinder environment for you, your colleagues and those in your care.
