Participatory Budgeting in Belfast gives residents a direct say in the decisions that affect them. It helps generate new ideas, strengthen community spirit and direct funding to where residents think it will make a difference.

With Participatory Budgeting, residents decide which projects get funded – it’s ‘your voice, your choice’.

The next participatory budgeting project in Belfast supports the Take 5 steps to wellbeing.

What is ‘Take 5 steps to wellbeing’?

Evidence suggests there are 5 steps we should all take to help improve our mental health and wellbeing. These are:

• Connect
• Keep learning
• Be active
• Take notice
• Give

Together and even individually, they encourage us to think about our daily routines and embrace the 5 activities to support better health and wellbeing.

Even if these are behaviours you already follow, the Take 5 steps to wellbeing is about increasing the time we spend doing them. Find out more at Take 5 Steps to Wellbeing
