Welcome to CasuallyGenerous

Be generous in your every day social plans.

Free, or nearly free. Small enough to fit into a life you're already living, not a separate slot for "doing good." Sorted below by how much you've got to give this week.

01 — SPONTANEOUS

Whatever time you have right now.

No planning, no cost. Something you could start in the next ten minutes.

ALL 40 SPONTANEOUS →
Free 20-30 min Solo / Duo, Small Group (3-6)

Write An Appreciation Email To An Old Teacher

Tell the teacher who changed something for you that they did - most of them never find out, and it lands harder than you'd think.

Spontaneous
Free / Under £20pp / £20+pp 60-90 min Solo / Duo, Small Group (3-6), Large Group (7+)

Learn Basic Sign Language

Learn enough sign language to say hello, introduce yourself and ask a simple question - and change how a stranger's day goes.

Spontaneous
Free 60-90 min Solo / Duo, Small Group (3-6), Large Group (7+)

Classify Images For Real Scientific Research

Spend an hour tagging penguins, galaxies or wildlife camera footage - and race your friends to see who classifies the most.

Spontaneous

02 — PLANNED

Worth putting in the diary.

A bit of coordinating — an evening, a weekend morning — with someone it's worth making time for.

Free 30 min Solo / Duo, Small Group (3-6)

Write To A Neighbour Offering Your Help As A Group

A letter with your names and numbers, offering to help with the boiler or the phone - so someone knows exactly who to ask.

Planned
Free 60 min plus travel Solo / Duo, Small Group (3-6), Large Group (7+)

Donate Blood Together

Book slots as a group, get through the nerves together, then go and eat something enormous afterwards. Genuinely a good date idea.

Planned
Under £20pp Half-day Small Group (3-6), Large Group (7+)

Run A Plastic-Free Picnic

Everyone brings food with zero single-use plastic. Harder than it sounds, and you'll learn a lot about what you buy.

Planned

03 — COMMITTED

Worth signing up for properly.

A form, a booking or a training, then it's yours to come back to. Better with someone alongside you.

Free / Under £20pp / £20+pp Half-day Solo / Duo, Small Group (3-6), Large Group (7+)

Do A First Aid Course Together

Spend a morning learning what to actually do in the first few minutes of an emergency - then quiz each other over a drink.

Committed

Spend An Afternoon At A Senior Living Home

Bring a board game everyone already knows, and spend a Saturday afternoon with people who don't get many visitors.

Take A Dog Out For The Day

Borrow a dog that needs the exercise and take it hiking - good for the dog, good for you, free for everyone.
