Enjoy the benefits of volunteering during April's Stress Awareness Month
Volunteering is a great mood boosting activity - especially when it's outdoors.
This national Stress Awareness Month, take a look at our Street Pride opportunities for ways to get involved in the local community and help look after your physical and mental wellbeing.
From community litter picks and environment projects, such as planting, there's lots of ways to make a difference with volunteer events taking place across the district throughout the month.

About Street Pride
Street Pride is a long-running and well-loved community initiative set up and supported by Fenland District Council to help volunteers make a difference to their local environment.
There are currently 17 Street Pride groups across the district - many of which have been running for more than a decade. Many groups also work with local schools and businesses who share a passion for cleaner, greener and more vibrant communities.
Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to get involved, whether you're a seasoned environmentalist or looking to try something new.
It offers a fulfilling way to give something back to the community while keeping active, enjoying the great outdoors and meeting like-minded individuals.
