A Year of Kindness in Action

Our Community Events & Experiences Round-Up

At Kindness in Bucks, our mission is simple: to bring people together, reduce isolation and create opportunities for connection, learning and joy. Over the past year, we’ve been proud to deliver a wide range of free and low-cost community events across Buckinghamshire – supporting babies, children, parents, adults and elderly residents alike.

Here’s a look back at some of the incredible activities made possible by our community, partners and volunteers.

Coffee Mornings at Dove cafe

☕ Coffee Mornings at Dove Café, Holtspur

Our coffee mornings have become a lifeline for many parents and carers. With toys, soft play, friendly conversation and a relaxed atmosphere, these sessions offer connection, reassurance and a sense of belonging.

👨‍👧 Dads Playgroups – Beaconsfield & Holtspur

A real highlight of the year. Our themed dads playgroups (Easter, Halloween and Christmas) bring dads and children together for play, socialising and fun.

With bacon sandwiches, hot drinks, giveaways and a welcoming environment, these sessions create space for dads to connect while children enjoy themselves.

🍰 Afternoon Tea for the Elderly – High Wycombe & Hazlemere

We were honoured to host afternoon teas for elderly residents, collecting guests by minibus and giving them a truly special day out. For many, it was about friendship, laughter and feeling valued – moments that matter deeply.
