Action for Happiness is a worldwide movement (founded in<br />
2010) of around 25,000 members committed to building a<br />
happier society.<br />
In summer 2012 the local Barking/East London Action for<br />
Happiness group was started. We are a social enterprise in<br />
the form of a local community charity; we are passionate<br />
about creating connections and strengthening social<br />
innovation. We meet on the first Thursday of every month<br />
from 7-9pm at the Spotted Dog Pub in Barking to share our<br />
creative ideas about creating greater connections, which<br />
leads to greater happiness. We share our ideas and vision<br />
about future events and activities we would like to see taking<br />
place.<br />
Our Mission is through learning, sharing and action we bring<br />
to life the 10 keys to happier living, which latest research has<br />
found tend to make people's lives happier and more fulfilling.<br />
Together they spell "GREAT DREAM".<br />
We are holding our very first event in Barking, which is a<br />
workshop titled ‘Introduction to Practical Meditation’ with<br />
guest speaker Roy Maunder on Thursday February 21 st . The<br />
cost is just £5 to attend the 2.5 hour workshop from 6-<br />
8.30pm.<br />
� Future events will include the screening of a film called<br />
'Happy' - an inspiring documentary about how we can<br />
all be happier and future workshops all relating to the<br />
10 keys and general personal growth & development.<br />
