Love in Action – Rethinking Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day is traditionally associated with romantic love, but love isn’t just about romance, it’s also about friendship, community, and human connection.
For many individuals dealing with with disability, mental health challenges or social isolation, Valentine’s Day can be a reminder of loneliness. This year, instead of solely focusing on romantic love, take time to think about the love and strength of a caring and supportive community.
At Circles Network we celebrate the love found in friendship and inclusion, we believe that everyone deserves to feel valued and loved.
Celebrate Inclusion This Valentine’s Day
Instead of (or in addition to) chocolates and roses, here are some other meaningful ways to spread love and inclusion:
Reach Out
Send a message or make a call to someone with few social connections. A simple “thinking of you” can make someone’s day.
Be a Host
A casual get-together, whether it’s a coffee and a chat or a larger gathering helps to create a sense of togetherness and community.
Support a Charity
Get involved with organisations like Circles Network; volunteering, donating, or simply spreading awareness can make a huge impact: support us
Practice Self-Love
Love starts with yourself, take time to appreciate your own worth.
This Valentine’s Day, remember; your kindness is love in action.
