What a brilliant start to a Saturday. We helped other organisations, including Fostering Portsmouth, set up their gazebos and stalls after getting our own stall ready to talk to festival-goers about volunteering and the positive impact it can have on mental health and wellbeing. We also joined in with some of the festival activities, including dancing and drumming. It was a wonderful morning of volunteering, connection and community — and the sun was shining too! ☀️

Such a brillaint afternoon at the SALT festival! The GoodGym stall provided an opportunity for us to share how volunteering can support mental health and wellbeing. We talked about the benefits of building connections, reducing loneliness and isolation, helping your community and feeling part of something bigger. When we weren't at the stall we also got to enjoy some of the festival activities, including dancing, drumming, Pilates and even braving the ice baths (well done Jen & Dave)! A brilliant afternoon of volunteering, connection, movement and trying something new!
