The Happiness Programme is an interactive experience designed to enrich everyday care, spark meaningful moments and support a more personalised approach. It offers a practical way to bring people together through sensory, cognitive and movement-based activities that can be enjoyed by individuals with a wide range of interests and abilities.

Bringing more joy, connection and engagement to care

Why it matters

Created to support home care in a more engaging and person-centred way, the programme offers over 100 activities and sensory experiences, with seasonal updates and personalised content using family photos and familiar imagery. It can be used on floors, tables or bedsheets, making it suitable for people with different mobility levels and care needs.

Benefits at a glance

  • Encourages more social interaction and shared moments with carers, family and loved ones.
  • Supports sensory engagement through sight, sound and touch.
  • Offers calming, creative and game-based activities to suit different moods and abilities.
  • Helps create enjoyable routines that can be built into individual care plans.
  • Provides a point of difference for families, partners and prospective customers looking for thoughtful, innovative care.

How it can be used

The programme can be incorporated into everyday care to add variety, encourage participation and create uplifting experiences that feel personal and meaningful. It may be especially appealing for people living with dementia, those with mobility limitations, or anyone who benefits from gentle, engaging activity. It also gives care teams a flexible tool to support interaction in a way that feels calm, inclusive and responsive.

A proven approach

Evidence from the programme shows strong outcomes in positive sensory experiences, increased social interaction, improved confidence and self-esteem, and better person-centred care. It also supports movement, reduces distress and helps create a more settled environment. These outcomes align well with the CQC emphasis on focused person-centred care.
