Here’s Happy City’s 5th Bristol HappyList  – our small annual vote of thanks to a roughly representative group of the kind of people here who just can’t help making the lives of those around them a little bit better!

All of our Happiness Champions have an inspiring story to share.  Between them, they’ve created a host of new opportunities for others, building people’s confidence, resilience and wellbeing in dozens of different ways.  What all of them have in common, is a huge well of kindness, empathy and care. They dip into that compassion every day, finding the well grows deeper the more happiness they spread.

Since 2013, we’ve recognised nearly 200 Happiness Champions in Bristol, and over 100 in Brighton (since 2015).  It’s been such a joy to put these lists together that we’re full of ambition for next year.  If you’d like to get involved, and help us create place-based HappyLists all over the country, we might between us be able to celebrate over 1,000 Happiness Champions in 2018!  Write to mike@happycity.org.uk if that sounds like the kind of thing you’d like to do.
