Helpful people help others. Being helpful means doing things to care for yourself, your family, friends, and community. It can start with looking for people who might need your help and doing something to help them out of love. What could you do today to help someone else and make them feel special?
ACTIVITIES FOR YOU TO TRY
Here are three Sunday #BEHELPFUL ideas for you to try during Scottish Children’s Health Week.
ACTIVITY 1 | CHORES GALORE
Being helpful can help with stress, for you and for others! Think about a time when someone helped you with something and how it made you feel. Why not help at home and do a chore without being asked. Think about the things that need to be done in your home like tidying up, sweeping, dusting, taking out the rubbish. Check in with yourself afterwards. How do you feel after helping someone else?
ACTIVITY 2 | HELPING HAND
Everyone needs a helping hand now and again. Do you have an elderly relative, a neighbour or a friend that you think could use some help? You could offer to tidy up their garden, help them go to the shops, or even take their dog for a walk! By offering to do something for someone else we can help to improve our mental, social, and even physical health.
ACTIVITY 3 | VOLUNTEER
Being helpful can mean helping one person or helping a lot of people! Think of something you are passionate about, it could be animals, helping children, the environment, or history. Why not volunteer for a charity or organisation centred around your interests? Have a look online and do some research into local or national charities and organisations.
