What does it mean to be kind when the world feels hostile? Project Kindness gathers stories from those who dare to live gently and justly in turbulent times — activists, artists, theologians and everyday heroes whose lives radiate hope.
Featuring voices and stories including those of Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh; Rosemarie Mallett, Bishop of Croydon and advocate for racial justice; and BBC Radio 2 presenter and broadcaster Kate Bottley, Project Kindness speaks to the heart of a generation longing for meaning, mercy and renewal.
Through vivid storytelling, biblical reflection and practical wisdom, Project Kindness invites readers to rediscover the radical power of kindness as a force for social change and spiritual healing. Whether you're deeply embedded in church life or simply searching for a gentler way to live, this collection will challenge, comfort and inspire. It’s a manifesto for mercy in an age of outrage – and a celebration of the quiet revolution already underway.
If you would like to join Project Kindness please contact me and I can add your kindness story to the ever-growing anthology, if you’d like me to share some of the stories I have collected get in touch – I am available for speaking engagements, Sunday services and community gatherings.

Project Kindness
"Many don’t think much about health until illness arrives. We similarly undervalue kindness until we need it. These reflections witness to its enduring and life changing power"
Project Kindness
"This isn’t just a book about kindness. It is also a memoir and a profound statement of hope in the face of the often overwhelming logic of despair. Absolutely one of a kind."
