It's hard to stay social right now, with many of us experiencing "zoom" fatigue and our lives feeling a little insular (and maybe a tad boring). But, it's so important to reach out and stay connected with the people that make you feel good. If you're struggling to keep the virtual hangs interesting and fun, take a look at this list and get inspired!
Socialise
There are a range of video apps that allow you to interact with multiple people at one time. This means you can gather a group of friends and:

• Exercise together
• Cook together (ready steady cook is a fun one!)
• Unwind on a Friday night, watching movies and chatting about your week
Fun platforms and apps to help you connect
