Random Acts of Kindness DayThis February is also the month for Random Acts of Kindness Day on Saturday 17 Feb.
Random Acts of Kindness Day is dedicated to promoting kindness and goodwill. It encourages individuals to perform simple, unexpected acts of kindness to brighten someone’s day.
This year the City has created Community Kindness Cards to be distributed throughout the community. Designed in partnership with Act Belong Commit, the card explains the benefits of random acts of kindness and some simple ideas of how to do it. Those who receive a card through an act of kindness are encouraged to do a random act of kindness for someone else, pass the card on, and share your kind story.
Pick up these cards at Walyalup Civic Centre, Fremantle Visitor Centre, or throughout your community
If your club or group would like to be involved and receive some Community kindness Cards, please email with your request.
