12 Days of Kindness

The 12 Days of Kindness is all about capturing that special feeling of community – and discovering what we can do right now to make things better. This December, we’re inviting everyone to ask themselves: What can I do to build that spirit?

Let’s shine a light on the brilliant things already happening and explore new ways to get involved. Let’s fill Hartlepool with kindness and community spirit! There are simple ways you can support the people on your street and in your neighbourhood – tiny acts of kindness that can make a big difference.

We’ve also highlighted 12 local charities working every day to make Hartlepool a better place. Each one is looking for more people to join them – from befriending to tree planting, from becoming an ambassador to helping in their shops. There are so many ways to lend a hand, and we’d love you to get involved. So please pledge a little time to your community. Discover the amazing things you could be part of in 2026 as we all Pool Together. Click on each organisation below to learn more, and offer your support if you can.
