To: Everyone who believes in hope
Sign the UK’s biggest ever thank you card!
We keep hearing that the UK is more divided than ever and that hate is round every corner. Headlines focus on what pulls us apart, but while hate can be loud, hope is everywhere.
Why is this important?
We see hope in every cup of tea poured in a community centre and every friendly voice on the end of a helpline, in every kids’ football ref and in every helper at the local toddler drop-in, in everyone who donates to food banks when they do the weekly shop and everyone picking litter from our beaches and parks.
Life is hard for a lot of us right now. Just getting by week to week is a struggle. But we also know our communities are full of hope and care. In fact, they’re built on it. But too often these acts of hope, and the people doing them, go unnoticed.
That’s why as part of the A Million Acts of Hope, we want to create the UK’s biggest ever thank you card: a huge, collective tribute to the people in our local communities who make life a little easier and the world a bit brighter. To prove that kindness is the quiet majority. To say, “we see you”, and to show that despite what we see in the headlines, together we can make hope louder than hate.
