Kindness Counts 2026
-
In your school!
Celebrate random acts of kindness day with us!
Whether it is a kind word, a warm hug, or joining like-minded people in a movement for change, children want something that is empowering, positive and uplifting, that shows them simple ways in which they can make a difference.
That’s where Kindness Counts comes in!
We want to teach pupils how little acts of kindness in the community make a big difference and we'd love your school to be involved!
Join the Kindness Movement
Kindness Counts is a campaign designed to promote the values of kindness and compassion in your classroom through engaging, age-tailored resources.
Once your school has signed up and takes part in Kindness Counts fundraising, you’ll receive:
-
Tailored educational resources, including lesson plans, age-appropriate worksheets, and activities focused on kindness and compassion.
-
Curriculum-aligned content supporting key areas such as personal development, mutual understanding, thinking skills, and the Personal Capabilities Framework.

Schools that take part in Kindness Counts fundraising will be entered into an exclusive raffle for the chance to win one of the following fantastic rewards:
- Belfast Giants tickets for a class of up to 40 people
- A wellbeing session with a Belfast Giants team member at your school
Plus, schools that fundraise will also receive:
