Three Ways to Make a Memorable International Day of Happiness

Embrace the Joy of Giving

It’s been scientifically proven that helping others can significantly boost our happiness levels. As social beings, we derive immense pleasure from aiding the success of others, not just from our achievements. Today, society measures progress not by wealth but by the happiness of its people. To celebrate this shift, March 20th has been designated as the International Day of Happiness by the United Nations, encouraging everyone to make others happy. Here’s how you can use Vinspired to join this global movement.

Be a Mentor

What could be more fulfilling than mentoring someone and sharing your expertise to help them succeed? There are numerous mentoring opportunities available nationwide. If you have a knack for business, consider business mentoring to guide aspiring entrepreneurs. Alternatively, if you are empathetic and a good listener, become a life mentor to support individuals through challenging times. E-mentoring schemes also offer the flexibility to mentor from home.

Be a Sports Coach

Exercise not only strengthens muscles and improves health but also boosts happiness by releasing endorphins. Spread happiness by volunteering as a sports coach. Opportunities exist for skateboarding and athletics coaching, among others. Beyond coaching, offer cheer-point support at events like marathons or volunteer as an event photographer.

Contribute to Your Community

Get involved with Vinspired’s Cashpoint scheme to address community issues. Apply for a grant of up to £500 to bring your project to life, enhancing the lives of those around you and adding project management skills to your CV. Use this International Day of Happiness to initiate something impactful in your community.
