Our Hearts, Our Mission
1000 Hearts is a social enterprise (a business that puts people and planet first) and a community. We believe that small acts of kindness have a powerful impact, creating a groundswell of change for a more compassionate world. A large body of research gives this belief a firm grounding in science.
Our hearts are our language of kindness, and we offer them as a symbol of care. They are made with love and carry this message with them.
Our mission is to share the benefits of kindness far and wide. We do this by making hearts with love and sharing them with anyone who needs a little kindness. A heart full of love is the best kind of heart, even if they're a little wonky or imperfect.
Thank you for being here,
Sarah.
Hello, I'm Sarah
I started 1000 Hearts in 2016 because I saw a need for simple acts of love and connection. I've always loved hand-sewing and wanted to make a tangible symbol of kindness that people could carry as a talisman against life’s darker elements.
Thus, 1000 Hearts was born from love and a desire to offer up something good and pure that would speak to the humanity in us all.
While I have amazing support from my family, friends and volunteers, 1000 Hearts is a very small social enterprise, so when it comes to production, sales, social media, emails, packaging and sending orders, it's just me. Please be patient if things take a little longer than you'd hoped.
I am delighted that so many people have joined me to create a global community of kindness. I hope you love it here.
~ Sarah De Jonge, founder & director

Let customers speak for us
What a very special idea to be able to get a bundle of hearts to give to others; have always loved the concept and it's special for both the giver and receiver. Thanks so much, keep doing what you do to add kindness to the world. xx
Beautiful colours and lovely to make hearts with 💕
My class loved the range of colours and enthusiastically engaged in a service activity that had all the necessary equipment. I would highly recommend it.
These hearts are beautifully made and full of care. I’ve been using them in our office to raise awareness for National Palliative Care Week, and they’ve sparked so many lovely conversations. I also made some myself — such a meaningful way to connect and reflect. Thank you for such a thoughtful project.
The heart you sew is finished off and presented nicely by popping into one of the little packages, with the card to explain why it’s been gifted.
Love the colours, can’t wait to spread the love around with these 💜❤️
Another lot of soft easy to sew felt hearts. Wanted some colours for boys or men but not such bright colours.
A beautiful and caring initiative. Simple and spreads kindness.
Great product. Is there a possibility of buying only cards as I have heaps of little bags that I would like to use?
I don’t order very often, as I’m in another country, but everything I ordered was amazing. Website easy to navigate, fast shipping (even to the states!), perfect hearts. Love it all and I’ll definitely order again.
Absolutely delightful strips of wool felt, perfect for creating individual embellishments for my hearts and for other little projects- a wonderful surprise package with a splendid assortment of colours ~ Thank you Sarah
The love in dark times heart is so beautiful. I bought this for myself as I loved the rainbow thread and wanted to have an emergency heart ready to gift. It’s beautifully made, a great size and feels substantial to squeeze.
I love the colors offered. the sugar and spice is my favorite
