Our Kindness Work
In 2020 as the Covid19 Pandemic swept the world - Celebrate Ageing launched the Kindness Pandemic, an online movement focused on acts of kindness for people 'doing it tough' due to coronavirus. Over 570,000 members joined in two weeks, 70+ groups sprang up around the world and we were named the Most Uplifting Facebook Group in the World at the Facebook Community Awards.
We have learned much about what we call Intersectional Kindness - particularly intergenerational connections to build a better world. Our Kindness work continues - and we invite you to read more about our projects and programs below.
