Young people in West Yorkshire working to #SpreadTheKindness

#SpreadTheKindness set out to reach 15–24-year-olds living, in education or working across the area. A campaign co-produced with young people aims to encourage young people to check in and share positive messages with friends either online or in person. It also aims prevent loneliness in the community, which has an impact on young people too.

In September, the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership launched a new phase of the Looking Out For Our Neighbours community campaign. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the campaign had inspired more than 49,000 people to get involved by making a positive difference to their neighbours’ lives through acts of kindness.

Highlights of the #SpreadTheKindness campaign include photographs and videos, feedback from young people and supporters case studies, all captured during the three-month campaign and summarised in an evaluation report available to read here.
