Warm Hearts floating sauna

Your act of kindness

Submit a photo and a story of your kindness before selecting a sauna shift. Via @Warmheartssauna, they spread the good news from Amsterdam. Every visitor equals a good deed for the city. The sauna is built and run by people 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 start in April 2024, celebrating 750 years old Amsterdam. Find them at the Sloterplas! 

Their goal

The goal is to honour 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, remove people from isolation, and support their physical and mental health. The Warm Hearts project is created and led by the residents of the local asylum centre. 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 the “problematic New West” into being the hub of kindness. We like to think that the world has improved slightly when Warm Hearts sauna is floating in Sloterplas. Let's connect and share stories in the kind steam of Warm Hearts sauna.'
