A six-week course helping people develop ‘happiness habits’ is due to run at The Good Heart from Sunday 15th March.
Action for Happiness, the evidence‑based global movement promoting kindness, connection and wellbeing, is running the Happiness Habits course. The in-person course will be co‑facilitated by local volunteers Sue Jeffrey and Nikki Tanner.
The Happiness Habits course is a secular, science‑backed programme that explores six weekly themes, including gratitude, self‑care, resilience, kindness and meaning, through short expert videos, guided mindful moments and small‑group conversations. Each week encourages participants to try a small practical action to build happier habits and share experiences with the group.
“Sitting together in person made a huge difference when we ran our first course,” said Sue Jeffrey, co‑facilitator. “People formed strong connections, tried new practices and reported feeling more positive after six weeks.”
“The meaningfulness of the course is what really motivates us to run it,” added Nikki Tanner. “Even small ripples of kindness and connection in our town can make a real difference.”
The course is offered by donation, £60 to cover costs, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. To sign up, visit the Action for Happiness website and navigate to courses, as payments and booking are handled there. More local information is available via The Good Heart’s social media channels.
The course will run on Sunday afternoons from 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
There is also a monthly happiness meetup at The Good Heart (open to all) for those who want ongoing connection without taking the full six‑week course. For further information visit actionforhappiness.org to find out more or register.
