Ideas for gap year

I want to take a gap year after finishing Yr13, mainly due to mental health issues.

I'm not in the financial position to go travelling across Australia, backpack through Europe etc. I've saved up enough money to go interrailing on a budget in the summer after Yr13, but what can I do after that which won't be too costly?

And ideas would be appreciated :smile:

I would stay home and get your MH sorted out. Best investment you could make. Maybe do some Princes Trust courses? Get a job and save money for uni or get work experience in careers you are interested in.

Sorting out MH means.

You will enjoy and have better chance at a social life.
You are likely to be less stressed and happier.
Be able to study better.
Be at less risk of quitting or becoming worse.
