It's Happiness Happens Month

We’re on a mission to make growing older in the UK happier for all, so let’s celebrate by sharing the little acts of kindness that put a smile on our faces during lockdown.

With older people at the heart of everything we do, we want to share with you, our friends and supporters, what we’ve been doing in response to coronavirus and how we can all help.
