If you want to get out and do something positive, there are lots of organisations and groups that run projects outdoors. Keep an eye out on notice boards in places such as your local library, shops or leisure centre for information on groups/clubs where you can help out or take part in activities.
There are lots of things you can do. Volunteering is a good way to learn new skills, meet people and looks great on your CV!
