World Kindness Day 2024

What’s On?

This year we will be holding our World Kindness Day Virtual Assemblies for primary schools on Wednesday 13th November (coinciding with Anti-Bullying Week)!  We will also be releasing a brand new World Kindness Day Activity Pack for schools. Last year, more than 71,000 children took part in our assemblies and we’re planning for 2024 to be even bigger!

World Kindness Day Pack
Our World Kindness Day Pack is filled with fun activities to help children focus on kindness to both themselves and others. It is suitable for Key Stages 1 and 2.

You can also follow us on Social Media to be the first to hear about new resources and events

Sponsored Activities: Children can choose to do a variety of sponsored activities around the them of ’52’  to raise funds for the 52 Lives Kindness Charity. In previous years, children baked 52 cupcakes, did 52 burpees, ran 52 laps of their school field, made 52 pairs of socks to sell…to name just a few.
You can set up a fundraising page for your school here.

Hold a Mufti-Day: This is another simple way to raise funds and spread kindness (some schools ask their student to wear purple of green and donate £1 for 52 Lives on World Kindness Day).
