Action Foundation is proud to support the @1mactsofhope campaign, bringing together hundreds of charities, community organisations and faith groups across the UK to celebrate hope, everyday kindness, and stronger community connections 🧡
To mark the Week of Action (13–20 May), we’ve been collecting messages of hope from our amazing staff and volunteers.
We asked them two questions:
💬 What does hope mean to you?
💬 What gives you hope?
Their responses are a powerful reminder of the difference we can all make ✨
Take a look at just some of their messages in the carousel below 👇
The Week of Action runs until 20 May and there’s still time to get involved. You can learn more about the campaign, take part, and sign the biggest ever thank you card to show that hope can be louder than hate. Visit their website to find out more - link in our bio 🧡

Action Foundation is getting behind the @1mactsofhope campaign, a community of hundreds of charities, communities and faith groups, coming together to focus on hope, everyday acts of kindness and community connectedness across the United Kingdom.
Championing hope is so important at a time when voices of division seem to dominate conversations. We can do this by highlighting all the things, moments, people and places that make hope real for so many in our communities.
A Million Acts of Hope Week of Action begins this week (13-20 May).
You can find out more about A Million Acts of Hope and how to get involved by visiting the campaign website - link in our bio.
