UnitedMind in the News

Our press page covers Newspaper Articles, Press Releases, Radio Intervies and other media coverage since UnitedMind was founded in April 2002. 
 
Over the past couple of years the attention from the press has increased and the number of journalists interested in the topic of laughter and health has been on the rise.
 
Hopefully the effort of bringing health through laughter to people will continue to be of interest all around the UK and beyond.
 
The UK needs more laughter and UnitedMind is ready to provide Laughter Yoga to businesses and individuals.
