Small things add up
to something big

The origin story

One Million Small Things started as a dream to empower all of us to believe we are impactful humans who can change (and are changing!) the world.

Walking with her friend and dog Stellar, Jamie shared

And from there - the idea grew!

We believe in the power of noticing. When you are able to see the good around you - you feel good too. So we knew if we wanted to show people the power of their actions, we needed to create a home for kindness to live, and ta-dah! One Million Small Things was born.

Why small things?

Well, no act of kindness is actually small! It's just about noticing the small things and seeing the kindness in them.

But we understand how kindness can sometimes feel like a demand in an already busy, overstimulating and tricky world.

So we call our stories small things. Because a small thing is something you already do. It might be smiling at a stranger, taking your neighbour's bins out, buying a friend a cup of coffee. Things you probably do without thinking too much about them. Things you do because you wanted someone to know you thought of them.

It's these small, kind things that are really the most important.

Because it truly is the small things that have bigger than you know impacts.

We've got big dreams (no surprises there!) on how we'd like to develop this as our community grows, but for now - share your stories, scroll through the hope feed (the opposite of doom scrolling!) and be a part of making the world a kinder place to be.

Why a million?

Well honestly - why not?

It feels impossible and also totally doable (in a ✨delulu✨ way tbf) and truly, it's not about the number!

If a cat video on the internet can get a million likes - we KNOW in our heart of hearts we'll be able to get One Million kindness stories (no matter how long it takes).
