Acts of Kindness
Acts of Kindness is a project that encourages everyone to spread kindness. The City has designed a community kindness card (available to download below) to distribute throughout the community and invite people to get involved in sharing the message and doing acts of kindness.
The card explains the benefits of kindness and some simple ideas of how to do an act of kindness for yourself or for someone else.
Being kind or helping someone can:
Brighten someone’s day
Boost your mood
Reduce your stress levels.
Acts of Kindness in Armadale was launched on 13 November 2022 to coincide with World Kindness Day. Following the success of the campaign, the City continued the initiative in October 2023 as part of Mental Health Week, and again in November 2024 to align with World Kindness Day.
In 2024, the City of Armadale partnered with Crossways Community Services to deliver the Acts of Kindness Christmas Appeal. Donation boxes were located at seven City community facilities, and thanks to the generosity of our community, an incredible 164.3 kg of donations were collected. These contributions helped Crossways provide 150 food packs to families in need during the festive season.
The partnership continued in 2025, with the community once again showing remarkable support for the Acts of Kindness Christmas Appeal. A total of 419.27 kg of food and essential items was donated, enabling Crossways Community Services to provide food hampers to 225 families in need, helping to make the festive season a little brighter for local families facing hardship.
