World Kindness Day is celebrated every year on 13th November — and in 2025, it falls on a Thursday. It’s a wonderful reminder that kindness, both towards others and ourselves, has real power to make life better.
Scientific studies have shown that simple acts of kindness can boost the immune system, reduce stress, improve heart health, and increase energy levels. In short, being kind is good for your health — and for those around you.
For more insights, the BBC Newsround explores how kindness benefits our minds and bodies, while the Mental Health Foundation shares practical tips on how to weave more kindness into your daily life.
Ways to Be Kind at Home and in Your Community
- Call a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while
- Send a handwritten card or letter to reconnect
- Offer to help a neighbour with their shopping
- Tell your family members how much you love and appreciate them
- Check in on someone who might be going through a difficult time
At Work
- Greet colleagues with a smile and ask how they are
- Offer to make a drink for your team
- Take a moment to thank or praise someone for their hard work
In Public Places
- Give up your seat to someone who needs it more
- Help someone who looks lost or confused
- Pick up litter when you see it
- Smile and say hello to people you pass by
Remember — kindness is contagious in the best possible way. When you act kindly, you not only lift your own mood but often inspire others to do the same.
Be Kind to Yourself Too
Self-kindness is just as important as helping others. Taking time to care for yourself allows you to recharge and stay well. Try these simple ideas:
- Set aside “me time” to rest and reflect
- Treat yourself to something small, like a favourite snack or flowers
- Listen to your favourite music or read a good book
- Spend time outdoors — nature is one of the best ways to boost your mood
Keep the Kindness Going
Kindness doesn’t have to stop once World Kindness Day is over. Even the smallest gestures — a smile, a thank you, a helping hand — can make someone’s day brighter. It’s about creating a culture of compassion, one action at a time.
For inspiration and ideas, visit the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, which offers resources, stories, and activities to keep kindness flowing all year round.
