Commit an Act of Kindness for Mandela Day this July

Commit an Act of Kindness for Mandela Day this July

People in Liverpool are being encouraged to commit an Act of Kindness as Mandela8 and Liverpool BID Company come together for Nelson Mandela International Day.

The theme for this year’s Mandela Day is ‘Kindness, Communities, Change’. Join us in doing an act of kindness in or for your local community, because working together we can make change.

Commit an Act of Kindness for Mandela Day this July

Nelson Mandela International Day, on Friday 18 July 2025, shines a light on the legacy of a man who changed the 20th century and helped to shape the 21st. The day is used as a moment to renew the values that inspired Nelson Mandela, and to examine how his values should inspire us to take action and make a change. 

Mandela8’s Mandela Day: Acts of Kindness campaign (formerly ‘My 67 Minutes’) encourages everyone to take time out of their day to do something for someone else or for their community.

Liverpool BID Company are planning a series of events you can get involved with to give back to others and be kind to yourself on 18 July;

*Planting session – Volunteers are invited to support with planting some unloved areas in the commercial district 

*Wellness events in partnership with YinYan Wellbeing CIC, from 8am-3pm at Tempest on Tithebarn Street:

*8am Yoga (45 mins)

*10am Qi Gong / Tai Chi (20 mins) 

*11am Loving Kindness, the ultimate stress-busting meditation (20 mins)

*Litter pick at 12pm from St Pauls Square

*12-3pm Clay Modelling (drop in for as long as you like)

*12.15pm & 1.45pm Ukulele Crash Course (30 mins)

*1pm Citizenship Talk (30 mins) – inspired by Nelson Mandela’s message of making the positive changes we want to see in the world, how can we be good citizens in our local community?

Mandela8 invites you to join with them in celebrating Mandela Day with a guided walk.

Bill Addy, CEO of Liverpool BID Company, said:

“Everyone in a community can help to transform the lives of those around them by committing an Act of Kindness. For us at Liverpool BID, it stays true to our ethos to help our businesses improve the environment around them for everyone, and focus on their wellbeing. This is always an inspiring day and we look forward to its return”. 

Acts of Kindness are a truly transformative practice that change how we interact with each other and our city. For businesses it is a moment to consider their role in our community and society and to be part of the hustle and bustle of the city for a day”. 

Sonia Bassey, Chair of Mandela 8, said:

“It is great to continue working with Bill and his team at Liverpool BID  to celebrate Mandela Day in the city.  Celebrating our communities and the kindness of others is so important.  The participation of businesses in the city goes from strength to strength and we look forward to seeing the wonderful things they do on the day”.

Businesses can add their Act of Kindness here.
