😊 World Smile Day at MAIN

Friday 2 October 2026

This World Smile Day, we’re bringing a little extra kindness, fun and positivity to MAIN! 💛

The message behind World Smile Day is simple:

“Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.”

Created by Harvey Ball, the artist behind the original yellow smiley face, World Smile Day is all about bringing the focus back to goodwill, kindness and making a positive difference.

And that’s something we can all get behind at MAIN! 😁

🌟 The MAIN Smile Challenge

We’re challenging our staff and young people to spread as many smiles as possible!

Try one — or all — of these:

💛 Make Someone Smile – Give someone a compliment, help them out or do something thoughtful.

🎨 Design a Smiley – Create your own unique MAIN smiley and add it to our Smile Gallery.

😊 Smile Wall – Complete the sentence:
“Something that makes me smile is…”

🕵️ Secret Kindness Mission – Do something kind for someone without telling them it was you!

📸 Capture the Moment – With the right consent, share a photo or story of something that made you smile.

🎤 Ask Someone:
“What makes you smile?”
“What are you grateful for?”
“Who deserves a thank you?”

💬 And remember…

You don’t have to smile to take part!

Kindness can look different for everyone. It could be listening, creating, helping, playing, spending time together or simply doing something that makes you feel good.

💛 Our challenge:

Can the MAIN community create 100 smiles in one day?

Let’s spread a little kindness, celebrate each other and show the world how MAIN raises smiles!
