Resolution Revolution

Resolution Revolution is an initiative run by the British Humanist Association, aiming to get more people volunteering and doing things to help others in support of a more cohesive society.
Background
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
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.
"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
"Such a simple idea, but brilliant. It turns the whole tradition on its head, and can make takers into givers at a stroke." -David Nobbs
"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
