The Kind Words Challenge

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Kind Words Challenge for 2025.

Every day, people across Western Australia are facing challenges that can leave them feeling isolated, anxious, and alone.

In 2025 we introduced the Kind Words Challenge, a heartfelt volunteering activity inviting Western Australians to write a supportive, handwritten message to someone who needs a little kindness. From seniors in aged care to new parents in need, these message helped people feel seen, valued, and connected.
