Growing Together — One Yawn at a Time
The Great Big Yawn is a Community Interest Company. Every session we run, every yawn we count, is an act of giving back — to organisations, to communities, and to each other. This page explains how the money flows and how your community benefits.
Our Promise as a CIC
We exist to serve our communities — not to extract from them. Every membership fee is designed to put real value back into your organisation, your volunteers, and your people. When you join The Great Big Yawn, you're not just buying sessions — you're investing in a shared wellbeing movement that grows stronger with every yawn.
How Every Session Gives Back
For every extra fundraising or Book-an-Ambassador session:
The Great Big Yawn
Keeps the app, systems and movement growing
Your Ambassador
Recognising the humans who deliver the sessions
Admin & Platform
Operational costs, infrastructure and marketing
When your organisation joins as a member, 25% of your monthly fee is ring-fenced as the Ambassador delivery pot — money set aside specifically to fund the people who deliver your sessions. This isn't profit for TGBY; it's your community's investment in its own wellbeing delivery.
| Plan | Monthly Fee | Included Sessions | Max Participants | Community Delivery Pot (25%) | Approx. Per Session |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | £40 | 2 sessions/month | 30 per session | £10.00 | £5.00 per session |
| Growth | £99 | 6 sessions/month | 30 per session | £24.75 | £4.13 per session |
| Premium | £199 | 12 sessions/month (up to 12 ambassadors) | 60 per session | £49.75 | £4.15 per session |
The Bigger Picture
Every time you count a yawn, run a session, or train an Ambassador, you are contributing to a verified global count of collective wellbeing. Organisations get real sessions and real money back. Ambassadors get recognition, training and earnings. Communities get a sustainable, community-owned wellbeing movement. And together, we grow — one yawn at a time.
