Get Involved

Community activities can boost self-confidence and self-esteem. We learn to deal with challenges, communicate with different people and build up our life skills in a supportive environment.

It’s also a great foundation for general and mental health and wellbeing.

Us young people often feel good about being involved in something where others expect them to turn up, where they feel helpful and valued, and where they’re supported to achieve something as part of a group. These positive feelings can help protect us young people from sadness and depression.

Being involved in some kind of community activity can also reduce the likelihood of substance abuse, mental illness and criminal activity.
