The Spirited Network provides kindness as a service, empowering and coordinating millions around the world who want to volunteer to make a difference in times of crisis. We aim to support those on the frontline and to ensure that nobody is left behind or forgotten by providing help to the most vulnerable people and organisations. These unprecedented and difficult times, when we are all anxious and fearful, call for a response in the spirit of the only universal currency and language there is: kindness. We seek to coordinate and best channel this in the midst of many inspiring but ad hoc and localised efforts around the world (so far we have over 6,000 organisations and 50+ countries in our database). Completely free to use, non-for-profit, and built to make kindness contagious, support viral, and spread compassion, we bring more method to the madness, and provide direction in times of uncertainty, as a more efficient avenue for those who want to help and those in need of help.

We have identified and chosen four key areas to focus on, as a network of efforts, where we found there is most need for volunteers and members of the public to contribute:

1. Connecting volunteers with vulnerable people and organisations looking for help, providing a more efficient avenue for support in times of uncertainty, so that nobody is left behind
2. Sourcing and fundraising for masks, life-saving medical devices, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical professionals and those who need it most
3. A Global Movement to thank and show lasting appreciation for the heroes on the frontline who have dedicated themselves to helping keep us all safe in the face of adversity
4. Advocacy for longer-term structural improvements that strengthen resilience both to future shocks and other challenges we face, and that lead to important, enduring societal changes, which tackle key inequalities and ruptures, that the crisis has so clearly exposed.

We are a diverse, mission-driven team of over 100 so far who all work on a voluntary basis and are from a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds, hailing from over 40 different countries. Cross-generational, we have all been brought together by a shared determination to make a positive difference to the lives of others and do our part rather than sit idly by during the most significant crisis in recent times. In this spirit, we built this platform as a response from leading members of communities such as Forbes 30 Under 30, World Economic Forum Global Shapers, ICE, Founders Forum, several United Nations bodies, The Oxford Guild, the Collegium Global Network and the organisations from the top universities it encompasses including Oxbridge, the Russell Group and Ivy League, as well as other pioneers in the medical/healthcare and charitable sectors and the worlds of technology, investment and business. Brought together by Abbas Kazmi, who has written HERE about why what we are doing is important as well as about his personal inspiration HERE, our leadership team has very successfully worked together before in building several other large scale organisations and projects including The Oxford Guild. We are leveraging a huge wealth of combined experience to ensure that together we can help tackle this crisis, by supporting the most vulnerable and ensuring that nobody is left behind or forgotten, making people’s days and offering a shining light in a time of darkness, and aiding those on the frontline, all in order to save lives and improve conditions in these difficult times.
