About

Love This City was founded in 2014 by Jenna and Tim Scullin. What originally started as a plan for a few people to go out into the city and give gifts to strangers, quickly turned into a movement where hundreds of people volunteered to #lovebomb a city. The first event was in Auckland, then Christchurch and Hamilton, now many groups from around the world have also gathered to simply love on people.

There are two main things we focus on with any event. The first is to show love to others in the community through random acts of kindness. The second is to honour public servants.

You've been #lovebombed

We like to surprise people with random acts of kindness. Whether it’s giving someone a coffee, a gift or a helping hand, it’s our mission to show love in a practical way. We know that love takes effort, but often it’s as simple as finding a need and filling it.

How we #lovebomb

+ Acts of kindness to strangers
+ Food and coffee
+ Donations for the homeless
+ Hampers for families in need
+ Many more…

Thank you for serving our city!

A core part of Love This City is honouring those that serve our cities who are often not recognized. This includes public servants; the police force, firefighters, bus drivers and many others. We believe in honouring these heroes through gifts and experiences that matches their effort.

Thank you so much.

It was nice to be in touch with the ‘real’ world, with people not rushing to go somewhere, with people who have love as their motive. Thank you!
