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.
