You may remember articles over the past few weeks highlighting ‘A Million Acts of Hope’ – a project to make visible the small acts of care that rarely make headlines. The week has now arrived, running from 13 to 20 May, and there are several ways to get involved.

Quakers in Britain have signed up to the campaign which was developed by organisations including NCVO and Hope Not Hate. It has brought together hundreds of charities, faith groups and community organisations, including Save the Children UK, the Wildlife Trusts and Crisis.

Quakers are being encouraged to take part by sharing stories of hope in their communities, thanking those who quietly make a difference, and taking part in the campaign’s “biggest ever thank you card” to celebrate local volunteers and helpers.

The campaign highlights that millions of people across the UK show up for each other every single day, from community gardening with refugees to donating to food banks.

A spokesperson for Quakers in Britain said: “For Quakers, hope is not passive, it is something we are called to act on. We believe there is something of God in everyone, and every act of kindness reflects that.”

Quaker Voluntary Action is also partnering with the campaign as part of their 2026 theme of “Pathways to Peace.”

Quakers are invited to log their acts of hope at millionactsofhope.org and share them on social media by tagging Quakers in Britain.
