Online Communities
There are lots of groups on Reddit that almost act as support groups and online communities for those who are going through similar difficulties as you may be. For example here is a link to a group of people sharing advice and tips on home-schooling during lockdown. If you search “Reddit” plus any sort of community or advice you are looking for (e.g. reddit home-schooling lockdown UK) you will often find a discussion on there and can ask your own questions if you have any. You will need to sign up with an account to do this.
North Yorkshire Together
In collaboration with North Yorkshire Sport and North Yorkshire Youth, our North Yorkshire Together website brings together arts, sports and resources for both young people and adults. This includes video workshops, resource sheets and more for keeping happy and healthy at home.
