The Cause
Enhancing Mental Health and Joy with The GIGGLR
Project Description: The GIGGLR aims to elevate society's mental health and spread joy by sharing jokes, laughter, and humour, sparking conversations that genuinely uplift and improve people's well-being. By regularly incorporating humour into daily life, we can create a more positive, engaging, and mentally healthy environment for everyone reducing isolation.
Why This Project Matters: In today's fast-paced world, stress and mental health issues and feelings of isolation are on the rise. The GIGGLR offers a simple yet powerful solution: laughter. Scientific research shows that humour can reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance creativity and problem-solving skills. By fostering a culture of joy and laughter, sharing, reaching out and connecting with each other, we can make a significant impact on mental health and overall well-being. Our research found that sometimes a barrier to reaching out and connecting with people can be having something to talk about. Our plan is to solve this by helping people become more confident to reach out by creating and collating libraries of suitable light-heated content to share to enable people to take time out and strike up a conversation with someone.
Who is Running the Project: The GIGGLR is led by passionate individuals, but as we grow, we plan to include comedians and personalities, mental health professionals, and further content creators/influencers, dedicated to promoting mental health improvements using the power of joy, humour via human driven activities.
Funding Purpose: The funds raised will be specifically used for seed content creation, workshops and events, community engagement, gather further research and development to increase our understanding of how to use the impact of humour on mental health and develop new strategies for integrating it into various settings.
Specifics of Content Creation:
- Development of Humorous Content:Creating a diverse range of humorous content, including jokes, funny videos, podcasts, and social media posts.
- Overtime we plan to nuance our categories so that users can pick easily the right type of humour for them and their friends’ and loved one’s circumstances.
- Interactive Platforms: Building platforms where users can share their own humorous content and engage with others.
- Collaborations with Comedians and Influencers: Partnering with well-known comedians and social media influencers to create engaging and relatable content.
- Mental Health Integration: Ensuring all content is thoughtfully crafted to promote mental health and well-being.

- £100,000: Expand to include greater in-depth research and tailored content development efforts to start to increase inclusivity of our content by June 30, 2025.
- £250,000: Scale up capabilities to reach a wider global audience and establish The GIGGLR as a leading resource for humour and it’s benefits to mental health by December 31, 2025.
Expense Deductions: A portion of the funds will be used to cover necessary expenses such as content production costs, event participation/organisation, and research activities.
What Happens to the Money:
