100 acts of kindness for 100 years of World Animal Day

This year, World Animal Day turns 100 - and we’re celebrating with something special!

For a century, people around the world have come together every October 4th to speak up for animals. Now, we’re inviting you to be part of that legacy with a global kindness campaign.

Join us: 100 Acts of Kindness for 100 Years.

Organised by Naturewatch Foundation, this campaign encourages individuals, schools, and community groups to pledge simple, kind acts for animals, the planet, and the people who care for them.

Whether you're feeding the birds in your garden, donating supplies to a rescue shelter, organising a school fundraiser, or simply sharing a message of hope on social media - every act of kindness, big or small, makes a difference.

  • Do not kill spiders in my house. They don't do any harm. Adopted my neighbor's 18 year old cat. The owner has gone to a nursing home. Chizuru O Chizuru O 04.10.2025 18:33
  • I buy cat & dog food to go in the Supermarket collection basket for the food bank. They need feeding too! I feed my garden birds & squirrels every day & sign & share petitions online & send pre printed letters to my local MP Linda C 04.10.2025 17:51
  • The local deer have been coming into my garden so I've left the cooking apple windfalls on the ground for them and have also given them a supply of crab apples to enjoy. I leave out fresh water for the birds and other animal visitors and I don't use pesticides. I follow.nature friendly gardening habits. Sue K 04.10.2025 13:15
