I’m not an expert. Can I run a Happiness Club?
You do not need to be an expert to run a Happiness Club. As long as you have the necessary safeguarding measures in place and both your church and your school are supportive, you will have all you need to run a happiness club. We have all that you need.
Who might run a Happiness Club?
You might be a toddler group leader, a volunteer, a paid worker, a grandma, a retired teacher, a children’s helper in church. You need to be prepared to live out the Ten Keys to Happier Living your own life and be willing to share them with the children. It’s also important to find someone to partner with you.
Each club needs to be shaped to fit the circumstances of the school, but the training and resources will give you all you need to run your club.
The 10 keys is something that I have been trying to integrate into our planning for all of our groups since we did our training. (Youth worker)
The materials and resources provided were excellent and the padlet with additional resources meant that there is plenty of stuff to run the group without having to search for things which is fantastic, especially for those who are not children’s workers, it allows everyone to share resources.
