Young people may have more time on their hands during the long summer break. For many, that can mean more time spent online or on social media, which can have a negative impact on their mental and emotional well-being. Our #GoSomewhereGood campaign aims to promote positive activities and 'good places to go' instead. Well, this summer, we're on a mission to inspire young people to break free from the endless scroll. For 50 days straight, we're giving away incredible prizes like custom-designed skateboards, brand new ‘Bog Man’ apparel, 'So Good' merchandise, and vouchers! 🔗 go.kooth.com/q53a 🔗 #GoSomewhereGood #Kooth #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #Win #Summer #Prizes #Competition
