Young people may have more time on their hands during the long summer break. For many, that can mean more time spent online or on social media, which can have a negative impact on their mental and emotional well-being.
Our #GoSomewhereGood campaign aims to promote positive activities and 'good places to go' instead. Well, this summer, we're on a mission to inspire young people to break free from the endless scroll.
For 50 days straight, we're giving away incredible prizes like custom-designed skateboards, brand new ‘Bog Man’ apparel, 'So Good' merchandise, and vouchers!
