We’re so proud to be part of such a vibrant, creative community of independents in Wilton. So many other wonderful cafes, shops and services in this historic and pretty town. If you haven’t visited - come say hello 👋

Let’s Grow Happy Futures – A Wonderful Success!

We are absolutely delighted to share that our Let’s Grow Happy Futures fundraiser was a huge success! Thanks to the generosity and kindness of our supporters, we reached our goal to create meaningful online training and digital skills opportunities for autistic young adults through Happybara.


Our first group has now completed their online SEO and digital work-experience training, delivered in partnership with the brilliant The SEO Bitch. They worked incredibly hard, building real-world website and digital marketing skills that will help open doors to future opportunities.


To celebrate their achievements, we hosted a special celebratory dinner for this first cohort – a joyful evening to recognise their commitment, growth and the fantastic work they produced throughout the programme.


From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who donated, shared, visited the shop, and cheered us on. You’ve helped us build brighter, happier futures right here at Happybara. 💛✨
