uplifters
Spirits-raising people
Uplifters are people or things that raise spirits, morale, or conditions.
The word often describes those who work to improve society or elevate others: community uplifters, moral uplifters.
It can carry a slightly ironic tone when applied to self-appointed reformers: The uplifters wanted to ban dancing on Sundays.
