We know that social support is key to well-being. Knowing that we have somebody to rely on in times of need is vital. However, we can also increase our level of well-being by offering social support. Studies have shown that people who engage in volunteer work experience higher levels of satisfaction with life, an increased sense of purpose, and stronger social relationships. The hygge home is not an island; it is a place that knows it is part of a wider community, and it offers support and warmth to those in need.
