All Right? Campaign update: December 2017
Kia ora. Are you ready for an outbreak of kindness?
We’ve got a very ambitious goal for December – we want everyone in Canterbury to give and receive at least one compliment.
Compliments are free, easy to give, and can make a big difference to someone’s day. We reckon they're worth spreading!
Arohanui,
The All Right? team.
A kind word can mean the world
We have created 24 compliments to make it even easier to spread some kindness - that can be shared as GIFs or passed on as cards.
GIF a little
Introducing the GIFs that keep on giving! Our compliment advent calendar makes it easy to share the love this Christmas.
Open a GIF a day or share 'em all right away!

Up for a mission?
We've created compliment cards for those who like to give their compliments 'old school'. Each card has its own mini mission on the back - like 'sneak me into someone’s pocket' or 'hide me under a keyboard'.
The best thing? If you live in Canterbury you can order a pack for free!

Why kindness
Doing something kind - like giving a compliment - has been shown to produce serotonin and oxytocin, two ‘feel good’ chemicals that help you feel happier, calmer, and more energetic.

Fill your wellbeing kete...
Here's a few tips and tricks to give your wellbeing a summery boost...
Take a breather
There’s no escaping it – it's December and there’s only 24 sleeps til Christmas! As well as lots of joy, this time of year can bring lots of stresses, as our 'to do' lists grow along with financial and family pressures.
Amidst all the cheer and chaos, it’s a good idea to try and Take a Breather. Whether it's a short walk, a catch up with friends or reading a book, there’s lots of great ways to recharge.

Boosting wellbeing at work
Many of us spend a lot of time at work, so how our workplace supports and enhances our wellbeing is really important!
Our friends at the Mental Health Foundation have just released the 'Five Ways to Wellbeing at Work Toolkit'.
The toolkit makes it easy for workplaces to strengthen their culture and support their people to build the Five Ways to Wellbeing into their daily lives.
