Recreation and purposeful activity are key to a healthy lifestyle
Belonging is a natural human need and vital for mental well-being. Being part of a community can have positive effect on your mental and physical health. Connecting to a network or community will lead to more socialisation, support and a sense of belonging. Griffith supports this in multiple ways, through clubs, societies, facilities and community activities.
