Kindness, community and creativity.

1000 Hearts is a kindness project based in Hobart, Tasmania - offering people a symbol of compassion and care through handmade pocket hearts.

A community grown from a small act of love.

Since the project started, Sarah - owner of 1000 Hearts - has made over 8000 hearts and many others have joined in, creating a global network of “heartists” committed to spreading the love.
