Resolution Revolution
Resolution Revolution[1] is an initiative run by the Wikipedia:British Humanist Association, aiming to get more people volunteering and doing things to help others in support of a more cohesive society.
Contents
Background[edit]
Resolution Revolution is a project supported by the British Humanist Association (BHA). The BHA’s vision is: ‘A world without religious privilege or discrimination, where people are free to live good lives on the basis of reason, experience and shared human values.’ The initiative is open to all; participation is not restricted to the non-religious.
Aims[edit]
Set up in 2010, it aims to recast the New Year resolution – so often about breaking a negative habit – as a pledge to do something positive for others.[2]
- "New Year is a time for renewal - but beyond diets and gyms, not just for ourselves. Resolution Revolution is a humanist social action initiative, turning good intentions outwards to others. The more people that get involved, even in a small way, the bigger the impact is. Spending cuts don't make a cohesive society, but generous actions do.†Polly Toynbee[1]

"Such small activities can build good relationships and help young people to develop a range of skills and qualities, from punctuality to planning and staying power." - The Guardian [2]
