Send Someone A Hug
Our Send Someone A Hug campaign is all about countering the dark, cold days of winter with a cheerful slice of Social Self-Care that benefits both the sender and the recipient alike.
We’re encouraging people to send a warm message to a friend, family member, neighbour, or someone they’ve not seen in a while. Examples include:
- Some nice news
- A compliment
- A happy shared memory
- A thank you
- A quick catch-up
- A message to say you’re missing them
You can write, text, WhatsApp… whatever suits you. (And if you want to put pen to paper, look out for our handy Huggy postcards in shops and papers.)
Wellbeing Impact
The wellbeing impact can be huge. Strong social ties reduce stress, boost mood, and improve long-term health.
The long-running Harvard Study of Adult Development found that those people most satisfied in their relationships at 50 were the healthiest at age 80. Good social bonds are associated with greater happiness, slower cognitive decline, and even longer life expectancy.
With findings like these it’s hard to ignore the enormous benefits of good social self-care.
A message can mean the world: Send Someone A Hug!
