About BigPinkHeart

BigPinkHeartEvents Limited is a not-for-profit, voluntary organisation formed in May 2008 when a couple of people got their heads together and decided that more work was needed to raise awareness about positive, healthy lifestyles, and promoting the meaning of RESPECT through the value of experience.

We all learn more through the value of experience and that's the BigPinkHeart approach!

To help get this message across BigPinkHeart designed some fun and educational events for schools and communities:

Our BigPinkHeart Events for Schools

We are currently working on some wonderful events for both Primary and Senior Schools. The events fit neatly into the Citizenship/PSHE curriculum and help to enhance what schools are already doing to raise awareness of positive social behaviour and community cohesion.

Please register with us or contact us at hello@bigpinkheart.co.uk to find out more.

Our BigPinkHeart Events in Communities

We are really excited about our Community Theatre Workshops which will be starting in 2010 and culminating in our Respect Factor event on the 12th October. Ask us for more details!

How about joining our great new Reading Group idea - 'You, Me .... We' is an intergenerational book club with a difference. Contact us at hello@bigpinkheart.co.uk for more details!

2009 was a busy year for BigPinkHeart - please visit our Scribbles page and read about the events that took place in 2009. Photos will soon be appearing as well!

A BigPinkHearted Way of Thinking!

At the turn of the Millennium a wonderful book was published (and later made into a film by Warner Bros), called Pay it Forward (by Catherine Ryan Hyde).

This is a powerful story about a boy who has a simple idea, how one person can do a good deed for 3 other people and they, in turn, can each do another good deed for 3 other people and so on.

Instead of paying a good deed back, the idea is to pay it forward!

So simple, and yet so effective. This fits in extremely well with what BigPinkHeart is trying to do and so we ask you to register your interest on our website and we will update you on the progress we are making.

10 Ways to Change the World with a SMILE!

1. Think yellow thoughts – when you least want to smile that’s when you need to smile!
2. When you think you haven’t got the time – that’s when you need to make the time. It only takes a few seconds to smile at someone or say ‘thank you’!
3. Mornings can be stressful so take a few moments between brushing your teeth, shaving, applying make-up, to look in the mirror and make a promise to yourself that at some time during the day you are going to do something nice for someone else. Don’t set aside what this will be, unless you already know, and don’t start to think too much about it.
4. Remain humble and don’t worry about receiving any credit for anything nice you have done, or thinking about doing!
5. Don’t rush the good deed! Make sure it comes naturally because only then will it come across as genuine! This is not about ticking boxes!
6. Never let power or authority go to your head! The good deed is to empower both the giver and the receiver and not just the giver!
7. Make sure you smile when you are doing a good deed. Don’t try to be macho!
8. Laugh with people, not at them! Be strong and don’t feel intimidated to join in with the bullies!
9. Take a moment of self-reflection. Look at yourself in the mirror every night and ask yourself if you did your best.
