NZ Moment of Thankfulness
8am • Monday 22nd June 2026
Every Kiwi asking themselves:
"What am I thankful for?"
Hey, I'm Ferg from the Thankfulness Project and on the morning of Monday, the 22nd of June, I'm trying to get every Kiwi to think of what they are thankful for and to reach out to others to ask what they are thankful for and I would love your help!
An amazing unified way for NZ to start a day
Imagine if everyone in our country, at the start of their week, took a pause and thought about the good things in their lives and our country, and then lived their day from that moment. I believe the ripples of us all doing this would make that day better and making that day better would make the next day better! A moment like this would build us up and bring us together!
Let's get everyone on board
I would love your help to get the message far and wide. Whether you can put it on your social feed, write it on your car window, or the whiteboard at school or get it on your radio station. Imagine if we could get everyone to post/share/advertise at the same moment: "I'm thankful for this.., what are you thankful for?" This could give every Kiwi the chance to think of all the good things, and our country would have a moment of Thankfulness.
My letter to you, please share
Our Story
The Thankfulness Project and the NZ Thankfulness Week started in 2019 and is in its 8th year. The founder Ferg started it with the goal to help build Kiwi's mental healthiness by reminding people that being Thankful is a powerful and simple way to do this. Each year Media outlets, schools and everyday Kiwis help spread the message of Thankfulness on Thankfulness week.
