  • Find employment or volunteering opportunities or learn a new skill
  • Tackle money, housing, work or benefits issues
  • Cope with a particular condition or difficulty
  • Access ways of improving your emotional wellbeing such as befriending schemes, peer support or arts and leisure activities
