Kindness Matters Founder – John Magee
My name is John Magee AKA The Kindness Coach and Founder of Kindness Matters. I have been teaching kindness and wellbeing to school children and teachers since 2010.My motivation and passion for education began after the credit crunch of 2008, when I lost my family business, my marriage broke down and I battled bankruptcy and consequentially deep depression.I was given the opportunity by Community Business Partner CIC CEO, Amanda Meachin, and Darwen Community Academy Headteacher, Brendan Loughran, to speak at an event called Inspiring Communities.Looking back, never would I have imagined the impact this talk would have across the UK in raising awareness around mental health.The talk gave me the visibility and opportunity to create an AQA accredited PSHE course, to quickly become a best-selling author of Kindness Matters, be recognised as an inspirational speaker and develop online courses that would go on to transform staff and pupils’ wellbeing with kindness at the heart of insets and pupil interventions.In 2012, I formed Kindness Matters to share that knowledge with others, to lead healthier and happier lives inside and outside of school.A bit more about me:AQA PSHE curriculum designer

I hope you find this website and the resources I share helpful for pupils and staff to understand the many ways we share and receive kindness!
