About this Funding:
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Laughology has announced that it will be giving away £20,000 through it’s Happiness Fund this year.
The funding supports neighbourhood-based community projects that build happy, strong, resilient communities across the UK.
Small, not-for-profit organisations will be able to apply for funding to set up new groups and activities that improve:
- mental health and wellbeing
- inclusion
- learning and skills development
To succeed, applicants must indicate how the activity/group can become self-sustainable or attract funding from other sources for the longer term.
The programme will run across two cycles, each awarding two grants of £5,000.
Further details will be made available when the fund opens to applications on 2 March 2026. The deadline for applications is the 27th March 2026.
