What is the Kind Hearts Club?
The Kind Hearts Club is a simple social movement designed to help start a conversation about the increasing rates of Social Isolation felt by many. 10,000 postcards with a heart outline on the front, and information on the reverse will be given to children on Vancouver Island. The goal is to have 10,000 children colour in the hearts , then leave the postcard somewhere in their community for a stranger to find. For the stranger who finds this gift, the aim is to show them that they aren’t alone, and that someone cares about them.
In 2023, the Canadian Alliance for Social Connection and Health found that 50% of Canadians surveyed felt lonely. That number is dangerously high, and it’s being felt across all generations. So how do we actively lower that number? Through human connection. Children love to help, and they are the ones who will inherit the society we create today. So, let’s include them in the conversation.
What do I do when I find a heart?
If giving or receiving this heart makes you smile, then please pass that good vibe on to another stranger. Together, we can all help increase our collective social health here on the Island. While sharing a smile with a stranger may seem insignificant, the truth is, none of us know what battles each person is fighting. So, let’s treat each other with kindness, always.
