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.   You can read a little bit about them all here.

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.
