What is the kindness relay project?

The Kindness Relay is a community-driven project where stories don’t just sit on shelves — they travel from hand to hand to brighten someone’s day.

The big idea

The journey starts with a book about Kindness, which is given to someone who we think will enjoy reading it.

When they have finished reading it, they pass it to a friend or a complete stranger. They then leave a note on the journey log and in the book.

We want to keep the ripple of kindness going as far as it can reach.

Do you want to get involved?

Send us an email and we’ll have a chat to see if you can begin a new kindness relay.
