If we hit our target, then we'd love to smash it even further and hit our stretch target. With this extra money we will...
- Deliver 1000 bars to local hospices, childrens hospitals and charities across the UK
- Launch a new additional bar to our Well + Happy range
- Create an even bigger and better online platform
- Identify and source our first retail premises
- Work with an awesome branding team to help create something really special for Well + Happy
Who we are...
Well + Happy are the makers behind guilt free indulgence and we lovingly craft raw, artisanal, handmade chocolate bars - which are free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar and soy. Our products however, are not free from great taste and luxurious indulgence. Everything we produce is 'raw', meaning it is not heated above a certain temperature. This means that our chocolate maintains all of the rich goodness and minerals derived from the cacao plant. 
Why raw chocolate...
Raw chocolate is abundant in antioxidants, helps raise your magnesium levels - something many of us are deficient in - and increases the happy chemicals in your brain. Raw cacao is rich in theobromine, which elevates the 'feel good' receptors and it also increases our serotonin levels - which is why chocolate literally makes us feel so happy. Having it raw increases these tenfold, ensuring you get all of the natural goodness from the plant itself.... more on the amazingness of raw chocolate below

Why Well + Happy raw chocolate?...
All this - teamed with the fact that Well + Happy bars are made with organic, ethically sourced ingredients and are also refined sugar, dairy, gluten and soy free, make for so many reasons to eat more raw chocolate.
Plus we're all about fusing our good food, with positive vibes. Each bar comes with its own positive and inspiring message to brighten your day too!
Where we are currently...
We currently stock wholesale chocolate at a number of independent cafes, some small chain retailers and fitness centres across the UK and also online at our shop and through other online selling platforms. But we want to take Well + Happy to the next step.
We want to reach more wholesalers and make sure that Well + Happy is a raw chocolate bar that is much more readily available across the UK and even globally too. We want to introduce a monthly chocolate club, for our online shoppers to enjoy Well + Happy goodies on a monthly basis and we want to grow our product range too. We have some extremely exciting ideas for new flavours and new products - but we need your help to make Well + Happy a huge success.

And just to recap on how amazing raw chocolate is...
Raw chocolate is a chocolatiers way of processing pure cacao - without heating and destroying the nutrients. This means that all of the nutrients and health benefits from the cacao plant are retained and delivered to you in a delicious bar... and there are plenty of health benefitting reasons to get chomping. Here we're sharing the top 3!
MAGNESIUM - raw chocolate is full of it. A mineral which most of us are lacking from our diets - its essential for supporting our nervous system, helping us restore and repair after exercise, great for energy production and amazing to help regulate the glands which control sleeping patterns too.
Abundant is the mighty raw chocolate bar in ANTIOXIDANTS. These antioxidants help to lower our blood pressure, increase our good cholesterol and contribute to healthy skin and hair.
Raw chocolate increases HAPPY VIBES. Yup!... Eat your PEA's! Cacao contains a compound called phenylethylamine - which is named PEA for short. This compound helps to elevate our mood and energy levels. Its actually the chemical produced naturally in our body when we fall in love. Raw chocolate also contains SEROTONIN, as well as chemicals which boost the body’s natural production of serotonin - and its this chemical which increases and enhances our mood and ability to fend off stress.
Its now been proven that over 90% of our bodies serotonin recpetors are found in our stomachs, so it makes sense that eating well makes us happy - and thats why we love what we do, bringing you all happiness through food!
