Spring can be a busy time for calendar dates; with St. Patricks Day, Mother’s Day, Lent, and Easter all looming… But amongst these dates we should not forget the UN International Day of Happiness on March 20th, a day celebrated around the world to remind us of the importance of happiness in our lives.
And with the world facing so many unprecedented challenges this year; in particular the conflict in Ukraine, happiness and wellbeing have never been more important. To find out how you can get involved, and discover the ways that you can spread happiness on Sunday 20th, visit the Day of Happiness Website.
When it came to planning how we could spread our own sprinkling of happiness, we felt a good place to start was by sharing some of the most positive and uplifting news stories from around Devon!
