'Spread Goodness Day' Fishing Clinic (Geelong)

FREE fishing session, with Fishcare Victoria. Learn about how to catch & care for fish - all equipment supplied.

Spread Goodness Day

Founded in 2017, the purpose of Spread Goodness Day is to inspire individuals, schools, and organizations to spread goodness together in their communities and on a global scale. To celebrate goodness together and show the absolute proof we can change the world in just one day.

While every day is a good day to spread goodness, by celebrating together our individual efforts, multiplied by hundreds, thousands, even millions, have the power to change the world in unexpected ways. Did you know that performing acts of kindness, or even just witnessing kindness, creates oxytocin, endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. You can provide literal healing, happiness, and love to everyone around you, We’re not just changing the world together, we are healing it!
