Happy Space UK

Happy Space is the preventative mental wellbeing organisation, protecting, inspiring and empowering young people nationwide. We’re on a mission to educate every young person in the UK about how to conscientiously and effectively look after their wellbeing. Our vision is a society free of mental health stigma where every individual has access to the basic toolkit they need to help look after their mental health. We believe that Mind, Food, Body, Finance and the Arts are the five pillars of mental wellbeing. Those pillars form the framework for the beautiful guidebooks and accompanying 7-week lesson plans that we deliver to schools nationwide. Our resources combine expert content from thought leaders, engaging design and interactive activities. We cater for all students from year 1 (age 5-6) to the first year of Uni (age 18-20). Equipping every child in the UK with preventative mental health knowledge could turn the tide on the ongoing mental health crisis and improve the nation's mental health for generations to come. In 2021, our resources reached 30,000 students. In a survey of over 100 schools that received Happy Space’s guidebooks: - Teachers rated them 9/10 for usefulness. - Students’ understanding of the link between exercise and mental wellbeing increased by 50%. - Students’ understanding of the link between food and mental wellbeing increased by 80%. - Students’ understanding of the link between finance and mental wellbeing increased by 94%.
