Action for Happiness (Midlothian)

We are a movement of people with a shared mission to create a happier world, with a culture that prioritises happiness and kindness. We do this by helping people get together regularly to learn evidence-based skills for happier living, feel a sense of belonging and commit to personal action to create more happiness, both for themselves and others.

Our work is underpinned by Positive Psychology. We provide daily actions people can take through our app and calendar, which has been used by millions of people. Our fantastic volunteers lead our online courses or coordinate our groups where members meet to learn tools to increase wellbeing and commit to action. A peer-reviewed Randomised Control Trial found our course provides significant benefits for happiness and wellbeing. We host regular live webinars with leading thinkers on happiness, wellbeing and mental health, which have had over 250,000 attendees.
