The American International Church (AIC) is joining with other organisations to participate in “A Million Acts of Hope” — to stand against the rising threat of hate.

AIC along with the Muslim World League and Babylon Migrants Project has created a series of collages about what hope looks like and these artworks will be displayed on Tottenham Court Road in front of the church on Monday 18 May.

People are asked to add their own messages of hope by stopping by between 11:30am and 2.30pm and from 4.30pm to 6.30pm to add a heart to the wall of hope, take a selfie with a message of unity, and see the collages.

“We welcome individuals and organisations to come stand with messages of hope, and to share via your own social media platforms,” says Rev Jennifer Mills-Knutsen of AIC.

“Help us show that Camden and Fitzrovia is a place of kindness and welcome, and choose hope over fear.”

A Million Acts of Hope Week of Action is taking place from 13 to 20 May, and is a project of hundreds of charities, communities and faith groups which have come together to launch a campaign to bring hope out into the open.

“A Million Acts of Hope is a national invitation to celebrate the everyday acts of kindness, care and connection happening across the UK,” say the national organisers.

“At a time when division can feel loud, we want to bring together all these everyday acts of hope and shine a light on the people and communities making them happen.

“Most people want to live in strong, healthy, caring communities where everyone feels they belong. A Million Acts of Hope is about making that visible and bringing people from all backgrounds, and all walks of life, together.”

Hope Happens Here, outside American International Church, 79a Tottenham Court Road, London W1T 4TD, from 11.30am to 2.30pm and 4.30pm to 6.30pm on Monday 18 May 2026.
