Bermuda Is Love has launched a campaign aimed at cultivating compassion, understanding and meaningful acts of kindness.

The #EmpathyInAction drive seeks to inspire everyone on the island to practise empathy as a daily, intentional act.

A series of free events is planned throughout the month including a legal advice clinic, toy, clothing and food drives, and even a holiday party.

There is also a community garden session and blood donation drive.

A spokesman for Bermuda is Love said: “Empathy goes beyond acknowledging someone else’s experiences, it’s about stepping into their shoes and taking action to address their needs.

“Through #EmpathyInAction, we aim to empower individuals to view Bermuda and the world through a new lens, fostering understanding of the challenges others face, such as poverty and socio-economic inequality.

“With this understanding, we encourage everyone to act with kindness and contribute to tangible solutions.

“When we help others, whether by offering our time, skills or resources, we not only address immediate needs but also gain insights into their lives and challenges.

“Participating in acts of service nurtures a deep sense of our shared humanity, of our connectedness to one another, reminding us of the strength in unity and collective effort.

“At its core, empathy is a bridge, a powerful tool for reducing division, resolving conflicts and creating spaces where all individuals feel valued and seen.

“By actively listening, volunteering and acting, we can strengthen our communities and deepen our connections to one another.”
