As part of the Find Your Team #FeelPartOfSomething campaign, SAMH, sportscotland and Young Scot are encouraging everyone to get involved in group sport or physical activity to help overcome feelings of social isolation.
As we create new routines after the summer, it’s a great time to join a local group, take up a new hobby or get back to a sport or physical activity you used to enjoy!
Taking part in sport and physical activity is a great way to connect with new people and #FeelPartOfSomething. Joining a sports team or taking part in group exercise can create a sense of belonging and working together towards a common goal.
Finding a group, club or team: There are so many ways to get active with other people, you could join a local walking or jogging group, or reconnect with a team sport you used to do. Or this could be a chance to try something completely different that looks fun! There’s a group out there for everyone, so take the opportunity to find what works for you. If you’re not sure where to start or feel nervous about trying a new activity, check out our top tips.
Get your club or group involved: Local clubs and activities can encourage people to sign up by making time for an informal chat before or after sessions. It can be helpful to tell the stories of people who have made friends through joining your club. You can find some ways for your club to get involved in the campaign via our campaign toolkit and tips for clubs
