Congratulations and A Huge Big Thank You to Everyone who was hugged and emailed us with their feedback, and to the huggers who took on hugging complete strangers!

Hugging photo Random Huggers Day took place on Sunday May 1st for the second year running. In 3 hours 39 huggers gave away 4,500 hugs on the streets of London to visitors and shoppers in these locations in London:

  • Covent Garden - at the junction of Shelton St, Earlham St and Neal St.
  • South Bank of the Thames - between the London Eye and Waterloo Bridge.


    • Random Huggers Day is organised by Mayella Reynolds and her team of huggers whose intention is that Random Huggers Day become a global event. There is no charity or corporation involved. This is about one human being giving another human being a gift, for nothing!

    Giving people a hug is very special. It is a simple way of expressing love, care and friendship. And, it can save lives. Our intention is to spread some warmth, love and fun, and all the wonderful energy that is in a hug.
