In 2026, Randwick City Library is bringing something truly special to local families — a heartwarming initiative dedicated to raising kind, compassionate kids. Welcome to the Year of Kindness, a thoughtfully curated program designed to inspire children to embrace kindness in their everyday lives.
This feel-good initiative is all about nurturing empathy, respect and connection from an early age. Throughout the year, Randwick City Library’s Children’s Team will host a variety of engaging activities that encourage little ones to explore the power of kindness — both at home and in the wider community.
What Families Can Expect
From creative workshops to interactive events and school holiday programs, the Year of Kindness offers plenty of opportunities for children to learn through play and participation. Each activity is designed to promote important values like peace, love, unity and respect, helping children build strong social and emotional foundations.
Kids will be encouraged to:
- Take part in random acts of kindness
- Create thoughtful gifts for family and friends
- Join community-driven projects
- Share their own kindness stories
It’s a beautiful way to show children that even the smallest acts can make a big difference.
