How to Make Friends and Find Communities: Back for the Second Time!

The first edition of How to Make Friends and Find Communities was a huge success - and it’s now back by popular demand!

*Do you need more confidence introducing yourself in social settings and making new friendships in adulthood?

*Have you been wanting to find communities of people who share your interests but don't know where to start?

*Do you, like many of us, sometimes struggle with loneliness and would love more human connection?

We've got you.🤗

YouGov found that half of Britons (51%) say they find it difficult to make new friends. While a third (35%) find making friends ‘fairly difficult’, a further 16% say it’s ‘very difficult’ for them. So you’re definitely not alone if this sounds like you. In fact, 8,200 people search ‘how to make friends’ in Google every month 🫂

Come and watch our live panel talk in which men and women discuss how they’ve navigated finding friendships and connection in adulthood.

*This event will be free for refugees and asylum seekers, and people who are unemployed*

The panel will discuss such topics as:

🧠 The difference between friendship in childhood and in adulthood

🧠 The concept of loneliness and how so many of us lack deep human connection, which harms our mental health

🧠 The heartbreak of friendship breakups - how it feels to ‘dump’ or be dumped by a friend

🧠 Creating communities - how they did it and what they have brought to the lives of their members

🧠 Top tips for people looking to make new friends/feel more confident introducing themselves to people

This will be a joyous and fun evening of sharing stories in a safe space, with people from different walks of life who really care about helping others find connection. We’ll also explore what finding trusted circles of people has done for our mental health.

We will take questions and comments from the audience too, if there’s anything you’d like to know. Or we will have time afterwards to chat among ourselves - the perfect opportunity to get started making new friends.
