Pupils from Broadford & Mead Primary had the exciting opportunity to present their Community Action project #wearekind at the WE DAY UK celebrations last week. Held at Wembley Arena, We Day UK is an inspirational event which helps to empower a new generation to focus on how the actions of individuals can have the power to transform communities.
In front of 12,000 guests, our pupils explained their project.

'#wearekind is about inspiring pupils to carry out small acts of kindness: offering your seat on a bus, paying a compliment or maybe just smiling at someone. These small things can help us create a kindness revolution'

'This was a fantastic chance for our pupils to experience speaking in an unparalleled stadium-sized event. Their idea is simple but it could have a profound impact on our school and local community. We were so proud of how they pitched their bid to Unilever and the way they presented their ideas at the WE DAY event. Hopefully more people will be inspired to follow the message in #wearekind.'

We Day UK is part of a global event that brings together world-renowned speakers and performers to honour the contributions of young volunteers and kick-start another year of change.
For our schools, this is much more than a one-day event. At Mead we have used the social initiatives from We Day to launch a yearlong program, which offers our pupils the chance to take part in campaigns to helps to turn their ideas for social responsibility into a reality.'
