FEATURED ACTION
LOCKDOWN LIFE HACKS
Stay connected, beat the boredom, and develop your skills – all whilst helping others.
Share a skill you have, that could help others through lockdown. Do you know how to run the perfect bath? Could you help someone learn how to introduce themselves in British Sign Language? Could you teach someone how to play chess to stave off their boredom?
Whether it’s crafts for self-care, skills for the future, or a lockdown lifehack, we want you to share it, and nominate others to do the same.
FEATURED ACTION
CARE FOR CARE HOMES
Join us in reducing the loneliness and improving the wellbeing of people in care homes as we collectively carry out 10,000 acts of kindness.
Care homes have been hit incredibly hard by the current global pandemic, from residents falling ill to being separated from their loved ones. Young people have told us that they usually help care homes throughout the year and that the current crisis shouldn’t stop that from happening.
