Kindness is more important today than it has ever been. The isolation of the last year has underlined how little acts of consideration can break down barriers and brighten the lives of the people around us. This is one of the reasons that ‘One Kind Word’ was chosen as the theme of Anti-Bullying Week 2021

One kind word can provide a moment of hope. It can be a turning point. It can change someone’s perspective. It can change their day. It can change the course of a conversation and break the cycle of bullying. Best of all, one kind word leads to another. Kindness fuels kindness. So from the playground to parliament and from our homes to our phones, together our actions can fire a chain reaction that powers positivity. ‘So raise your voice and tell the world, join us and say one kind word!’
