• joining a community drama group or sports team

• organised group activities such as Scouts / Guides or the Cadet Forces ( such as the Sea Cadets or Air Cadets )

ADDITIONAL CAREER OR ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Look out for any additional support provided by your local education authority ( the local government body responsible for education in your area – usually a district or county council ). For example , some local authorities run activities such as careers events and other additional support activities .
