What are activities?

On this platform, activities are the things that people and organisations share to help others get involved, stay informed, or access support in their community.

An activity can be:

• a service your organisation provides (for example, a support group, training session, or advice drop-in)
• a regular opportunity for people to join (like a weekly class or volunteering session)
• a one-off event such as a workshop, open day or community gathering
• a question or challenge to the community to solve together
• a paid job vacancy
• a request for or offer of help

Activities appear on the platform so that community members can easily search, filter and find what’s happening around them. Each activity includes key details — such as who’s running it, when and where it takes place, and how to take part.

By adding activities, members and organisations help make the platform a living directory of what’s available locally — promoting engagement, collaboration and wellbeing within the community.
