Your act of kindness

Submit a photo and a story of your act of kindness before selecting a sauna shift. Via @Warmheartssauna they spread good news from Amsterdam. Every visitor equals a good deed for the city. The sauna is built and run with people who are residing at the AZC Willinklaan. The entire purpose of Warm Hearts is to make kindness the new cool, and contribute to the social cohesion around Nieuw-West. The sauna events are starting in April 2024, to celebrate 750 years old Amsterdam. Find them at the Sloterplas!

Their goal

The goal is to honor the city by creating stories about good deeds by Amsterdammers for Amsterdammers. Warm Hearts is not just a new idea for the city. It is mainly intended to combat loneliness, take people out of their isolation, and support their physical and mental health. The Warm Hearts project is created and led with the residents of the local asylum center. This project will bring to light the talent and resilience of the Amsterdam newcomers.

Warm Hearts Sauna:

'By working together we want to be part of turning the prejudiced mindset of “problematic New West” into being the hub of kindness. We like to think that anytime Warm Hearts sauna is floating in Sloterplas, the world has been made a little bit better. Let's connect and share stories in the kind steam of Warm Hearts sauna.'
