The Happiness Fund

The Happiness Fund exists to back grassroots, community-led projects that make a real difference — and we’d love yours to be next.

Each funding round, we award £10,000 to help 2 brilliant projects take their next step.

We’re particularly interested in projects supporting mental health, wellbeing, inclusion or skills development — projects that are rooted in their communities and built to keep making a difference.

Could yours be one of them?

Maybe it’s a space that brings people together who’d otherwise be on their own. Or perhaps somewhere young people get to imagine a future that feels inclusive and possible. Or maybe it’s a group learning something new, together, without judgement, but with a genuine sense of belonging.

We’re drawn to projects like these. Small, specific and locally led, by people who understand their community better than anyone else could.

If that sounds like what you’re building, we’d love to hear about it.

Application deadline: Friday 2nd October 2026
