  • 14 Queanbeyan Public Scools
  • The Balonne Shire
  • The Whitsundays
  • The Hawkesbury

b kinder day 2023 saw 146 schools and over 250 businesses participate. Over 90,000 b kinder day cards full of kind messages have now been sent around the world. This year we estimated that b kinder day had a total reach of over 4,500,000 people.

Our b kinder workbooks and kindness resources have now been donated to 4 Aboriginal schools around Australia.

Through our “sunshine initiative” we have linked 4 Australian schools with 4 schools in the United Kingdom.

With Mental Health issues rising, it is vital that we endeavour to help as many children as possible.

In 2023, the b kinder foundation was delighted to be the recipient of a grant through the NSW Department of Education’s Student Wellbeing Innovation Fund. The activity receiving this grant is ‘Enhancing Wellbeing through kindness-centred early intervention among primary school children in Queanbeyan’. This activity focuses on empowering primary school children in all 12 state Primary Schools in Queanbeyan NSW. Through early intervention the b kinder workbooks and kindness resources empower and inspire children to become kinder, more empathetic, and more compassionate, helping towards reducing mental health issues, bullying and suicide. Proudly funded by the NSW Government.
