Just One Kind Word: Anti-Bullying Week 2021

Kindness fuels kindness and in a polarised, online world it is becoming more and more crucial. Could 2021 be the year when we see the importance of kindness? Anti-Bullying Week is leading the way and Martha Evans is urging schools to get involved


Does anyone remember the film Be Kind Rewind? Set in a video rental store, the title takes its name from the label often found on rented VHS cassettes. The viewer was asked to kindly rewind the tape after use, thus saving the next person from the hassle of having to do it themselves.

While technology has moved on, kindness is more important today than it has ever been.

The isolation of the last year has underlined how little acts of consideration and charity can break down barriers and brighten the lives of the people around us. Kindness is more relevant than ever.

This was one of the reasons, that “One Kind Word” was chosen for the theme of Anti-Bullying Week this year – which is due to take place from November 15 to 19.
