Today (20th March) is International Day of Happiness. As we face a global crisis together, let’s find positive ways to look after ourselves and each other.

At Forever Manchester, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be happy. We believe that connected communities make stronger, happier communities.

Keeping our communities strong, and doing all we can to support each other through this difficult time is going to be essential in the coming weeks and months.


Here are 3 positive steps we can all take.

There are lots of things outside our control.

Let’s remember to breathe and focus on what really matters so we can respond constructively.


Making wise choices helps everyone.

Let’s choose positive actions that support our wellbeing and help others to do the same.


We’re all in this together, even when we’re forced apart.

Let’s stay connected and reach out to help others who may need it.


Share your happiness with us #ForHappyDays
