Competition for young people during summer holidays

Win prizes every day with Kooth's summer campaign competition #GoSomewhereGood for young people aged 10+. Link: https://explore.kooth.com/go-somewhere-good/

The long summer holiday means thousands of young people will have time on their hands. Many will spend more time scrolling social media. For a lot of young people, this will be a welcome distraction and a way to stay in touch with friends. For some, however, more scrolling could lead to loneliness, anxiety or a loss of self esteem. Others will find themselves on sites or pages that are less helpful and potentially dangerous.

As a safe space, dedicated to supporting young people’s mental health, Kooth.com is on a mission to help young people find their way to better mental health. “Go Somewhere Good” will inspire them with ideas of good places and things to do over the holiday that don’t cost anything, are likely to boost their mental wellbeing, while encouraging young people to spend less time on their phone.
