Kindness in Bucks: Celebrating a growing community of kindness

Kindness in Bucks, a community initiative founded by two local mums — Alison and Hannah — in May 2023, is proud to announce that it has officially become a registered Community Interest Company (CIC).

What began as a simple act of kindness — donating baby baskets filled with essentials to local midwives and healthcare workers — has grown into a movement supporting families, residents, and local businesses across Buckinghamshire. To date, Kindness in Bucks has donated over 700 baby baskets to families in need.

Recognising the growing need for community connection, the team expanded its work beyond donations. Led over the past eight months by Amanda, Kindness in Bucks has delivered free social events for all ages, from baby playgroups and coffee mornings to community walks and wellbeing activities for older residents. More than 3,000 residents have attended these events, helping to tackle isolation and build stronger, lasting relationships within the community.

Kindness in Bucks has also proudly supported hundreds of local businesses — not only promoting their services, but also partnering with them to deliver free haircuts, beauty treatments, and other initiatives for residents in need. Seasonal campaigns, such as Easter egg donations and Christmas gift drives, have brought smiles to families across Bucks, with over 300 festive boxes delivered last December alone.

Now officially a CIC, Kindness in Bucks is powered by a small team of dedicated volunteers — Alison, Hannah, and Amanda — along with two part-time helpers. Together, they continue to create opportunities for kindness to flourish throughout Buckinghamshire.

“We’re incredibly proud of what the community has built together,” said the founders. “We believe kindness is contagious — and by supporting each other, we’ve made a real difference to thousands of lives.”
