The posters were created as part of a kindness competition which ran in schools across Brighton and Hove.

A Brighton-based children’s charity has teamed up with the city's Jubilee Library to create a Wall of Kindness.

Safety Net – a children's safety and wellbeing charity – tasked schoolchildren with creating posters for its One Kind Word competition during Anti Bullying Week in November and was delighted to get hundreds of entries.

The charity's operations manager Jen Tulloch said: "We could only choose 12 winners and hated the idea of the entries not being seen. That’s how we came up with the idea of displaying them at The Jubilee Library. We are thrilled that the library said ‘yes’ to the idea."

Now a selection of the children’s vibrant posters, which contain messages of kindness, are on display in the children's library area just in time for half-term. The posters, some of which have been turned into the Wall of Kindness, will be on display until February 25. Safety Net has also left copies of its 2022 One Kind Word calendars for families to collect if they wish.

Jen added: “Parents can pop in to perhaps pick a book for their child (with a library card) and choose our positive message calendar to take home – and of course look at our Wall of Kindness.”

It is free to enter the library and see the Wall of Kindness but the charity said donations via its website (Make a donation - Safety Net (safety-net.org.uk)) are always welcome to help it to continue its work with children and families in Brighton and Hove.
