This is good for wellbeing because
- It offers a key opportunity to ‘give’ back (5 Ways to Wellbeing), and connect to the wider community, to have purpose and feel more supported, valued, safer, with a greater sense of belonging - which increases self-esteem and empathy.
- Encourages participants to engage and upskill with the 5 Ways to Wellbeing through creative behaviours to manage everyday mental health and wellbeing needs.
- We can signpost to other opportunities/support in the community.
