INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS
CARING AND SHARING
20th March 2025
March 20th is the UN International Day of Happiness
CARING AND SHARING
This year’s theme reminds us that lasting happiness comes from caring for each other, feeling connected and being part of something bigger.
We’re encouraging 1 million extra acts of caring and sharing all around the world. And you can be part of it!
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Take part by doing an extra act of caring or sharing. Here’s how:
STEP 1: THINK
What is something you found helpful or inspiring recently? It could be a new idea, quote, image, podcast, article, book or place.
STEP 2: CARE
Who is someone you care about who might benefit from it too? Choose a friend, family member, colleague, neighbour or someone you’ve not seen for a while.
Step 3: SHARE
How will you get in touch to share it with them today? Send a text, share on a messaging app, leave a voice note, give them a call, or pop around to say Hello!
Once you’ve done your 3 steps, spread the word and encourage others to do the same. Use the hashtag #InternationalDayOfHappiness.
“We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world”
Caring & Sharing is also the theme of the new World Happiness Report being published on 20 March 2025. It explores the latest research on the importance of benevolence, empathy and trust as vital drivers of both individual and national happiness. This is more important now than ever.

“I pledge to create more happiness and less unhappiness in the world”
“Our relationships with others are the single biggest predictor of lifelong health and happiness. At a time of increasing polarisation and isolation, the most important thing we can do is find positive ways to overcome our divisions and connect more deeply with each other. This matters now more than ever”
