For employers, universities and colleges

Offer your people a calmer way back to themselves.

MoodFire gives your team or your students practical, gentle tools for the hard moments. Private by design, so what people share stays theirs. Start with a small, low-risk pilot.

Founding partner pilot programme. Places are limited. In the US? See the US page.

The MoodFire home screen on a phone, showing a streak, a short daily plan and the six tools: Check In, Spark, Reframe, Breathe, Unwind and Ground.

01 · Why it matters

Most people carry it quietly.

At work and on campus, stress rarely shows. It turns up as a hard Tuesday night, a deadline or a meeting that won’t leave your head.

Employers

Stress doesn’t clock off at five.

£51bn
Cost of poor mental health to UK employers each year
£24bn
Of that, lost to presenteeism alone
12bn
Working days lost worldwide each year to anxiety and depression

Universities and colleges

More students are struggling.

16%
UK undergraduates reporting a mental health condition, up from 6% in 2016/17
37%
US students reporting moderate to severe depressive symptoms
Under half
Of UK students have used their university’s mental health support

02 · The gap

Most wellbeing support goes unopened.

Most wellbeing apps feel like another thing to fail at. MoodFire doesn’t.

03 · The tools

Six small things, used a few times a day.

A daily companion for the hard moments. Not a feed. Not a chatbot. Short, simple tools you can open in the moment, on iPhone, Android, Apple Watch and Wear OS.

No engagement tricks. No streak shaming. No ads.

04 · Private by design

What your people share stays theirs.

Private for them. Reassuring for you.

05 · How it works

Sponsored seats. Private by default.

  1. 01

    Sponsor seats

    Start with one team, faculty or hall, or your whole organisation.

  2. 02

    People redeem privately

    They download MoodFire and unlock full access with a code.

  3. 03

    No individual data

    Admins see anonymised, aggregate engagement only. Never names.

  4. 04

    Optional wellbeing pulse

    An opt-in, always-aggregate read on how people are doing.

Prefer a lighter touch? We also offer bulk-discounted access that people subscribe to themselves.

06 · Measuring success

What we share, every month.

A simple, aggregate read on how your people are doing. Never an individual’s data.

Active users

How many of your people use MoodFire each month, as a share of sponsored seats.

Engagement cadence

Average check-ins and tool sessions per active person each week.

Wellbeing trend

Aggregate movement in recognised wellbeing measures, against each person’s own starting point.

Consistency

Week-on-week return rate, and how steadily people keep their streaks.

All figures are aggregate and anonymised. Small groups are suppressed so no individual can be identified.

07 · Where we fit

A different kind of support.

MoodFire sits alongside the support you already offer. It doesn’t replace it, and it isn’t a crisis service.

Employee assistance and campus counselling
Essential, and rightly focused on crisis and higher need. Often reactive, finite and rarely opened day to day.
Meditation apps
Content libraries and longer sessions, easy to drift away from.
MoodFire
Practical daily tools, private by design, made to be opened in the hard moment.
