Give back
Random acts of kindness and giving back to others have been found to make us feel even more happier than when we do nice things for ourselves.
There are many ways you can give back and improve your own wellbeing, while having a positive effect on others around you:
- Buy a friend a coffee.
- Hold the door open for someone.
- Compliment them on their successes.
- Volunteer within the University.
- Join a club or society.
- Become a UniGuide.
Become a social change innovator!
POD or Point of Difference helps support young people who have experienced mental distress. The organisation sees young people as a key aspect of tackling mental illness discrimination.
You can be a part of this movement by applying to their incubator programme that will support you to turn ideas into actions, link you with sweet contacts, and inspire you with key movers and shakers in business, social enterprise and the creative arts.
If you are between the ages of 17-24 with an innovative idea or project apply for POD as an individual, or as part of a group.
