Our Goal

At the Joy Factory, we don't focus on happy.  We focus on Joy. Finding the things that you can do in your life that give you that lift, that feeling of connectedness and free your spirit out of the daily grind for a short and glorious period of time.

We believe that if everyone can access something that brings them Joy,  or knows how to access their own Joy,  it can become a powerful weapon in our life arsonry to be pulled out and used whenever life gets too much and we need a lift to help us through.

Luckily,  we've also discovered that the brain goes into Joy overdrive when we help someone. We are hard wired to connect and when we do something good our brain is flooded with juicy joy-filled hormones.  So we like to focus on that too...two birds, one stone - that sort of thing.

Our Ethos

We like to hold onto the old fashioned things: trust, vulnerability and good old fun! We thoroughly celebrate the fact that each of us are our own unique design and we want to support you to do what brings you Joy.  
Our belief system is that many hands make light work, and because Joy is manifested when helping others ... people working together can become a hive of Joyful activity.

We like projects. We like supporting cool ideas. We like the concept that every little bit helps and if we can snuggle into bed at night, knowing we've achieved just a tiny morsel of joyful goodness...then that is a successful day!
