Our Hearts, Our Mission
1000 Hearts is a social enterprise (a business that puts people and planet first) and a community. We believe that small acts of kindness have a powerful impact, creating a groundswell of change for a more compassionate world. A large body of research gives this belief a firm grounding in science.
Our hearts are our language of kindness, and we offer them as a symbol of care. They are made with love and carry this message with them.
Our mission is to share the benefits of kindness far and wide. We do this by making hearts with love and sharing them with anyone who needs a little kindness. A heart full of love is the best kind of heart, even if they're a little wonky or imperfect.
Thank you for being here,
Sarah.
Core Values of 1000 Hearts
We are passionate about sharing kindness in a sustainable, heartfelt and inclusive way, so we abide by the following principles:
- our hearts are stitched by hand
- we use eco-friendly, natural materials
- hearts are shared in our community for free
- we put good intentions into the hearts we make
- anyone is welcome to make and/or share our hearts to spread kindness in our world
Hello, I'm Sarah
I started 1000 Hearts in 2016 because I saw a need for simple acts of love and connection. I've always loved hand-sewing and wanted to make a tangible symbol of kindness that people could carry as a talisman against life’s darker elements.
Thus, 1000 Hearts was born from love and a desire to offer up something good and pure that would speak to the humanity in us all.
While I have amazing support from my family, friends and volunteers, 1000 Hearts is a very small social enterprise, so when it comes to production, sales, social media, emails, packaging and sending orders, it's just me. Please be patient if things take a little longer than you'd hoped.
I am delighted that so many people have joined me to create a global community of kindness. I hope you love it here.

These three hearts were bought as a special gift for a friend overseas.
Living away from friends, I thought these would remind her she is loved and thought about.
Love how well the pack is put together.It sets you up to get started right away.
They are such lovely colours. I will enjoy making these.
I purchased a variety of beautiful hearts, each lovingly made, to pass on to women and children in need. I make up toiletry bags, and hearts will go in each one this year.
A simple act of kindness that means so much to the recipient.❤️
