What is Gladvent?
A brand-new website launched this advent in an attempt to give members of the public a daily dose of joy over Christmas.
Christmas is set to feel a little different this year, with gatherings limited to just three households as the UK sets out its rules to limit the spread of COVID-19 and ease the strain on the NHS.
As December marks the unofficial beginning of the festive season for so many people around the world, the majority of the public will be peeling back days and tucking into chocolates from our advent calendars.
However, a group of colleagues in Leeds, decided to do things a little differently this year. By launching our very own ‘Gladvent Calendar’, people are encouraged to read a good news story from 2020 every day.
2020 may have been a nightmare - but it hasn’t been all doom and gloom.
The idea behind it
The idea is that people will receive a little boost every day in December, as we continue to live with restrictions on social activities.
Full of heartwarming stories, videos and articles, the calendar will serve as a reminder of the positive things that have happened in a year otherwise dominated by adversity and negative press.
The thought of Christmas is what has kept so many people going this year, and even though it’s looking like sacrifices will still have to be made, we’re hoping that our little doses of good news will help to spread some cheer.
If we can make just one person smile with this calendar, then it’ll be mission accomplished, as far as we’re concerned.
The Gladvent Calendar will run from 1 December until 25 December, and is free to use.
