The plan is to organize indoor and outdoor social activities. So, if you want to meet new friends and you enjoy activities such as socializing at a pub, visiting a nearby city or town, or going for a run, then you are welcome to join. Planned activities will be mainly for 20s & 30s, however, everyone is welcome.

Hello, I'm setting up this group, as there appears to be no social/new friends groups for the under 30's in Blackpool. I know only too well how difficult it can be to make new friends and socialise in your 20's, particularly if you're shy, neurodiverse, anxious. I am aiming to get people of this age together to meet for drinks/ eating out/cinema etc. I am myself a woman in my 50's and have been spurred on to do this as I realise there are many younger people who are lonely and struggle to make friends, so I'm more overseeing this group to see if there are any younger people who wish to get together themselves with ideas and wanting to meet each other for drinks etc. Obviously if events are organised, all I ask is if you put you're attending and you cannot, could you please inform the group. We don't want people turning up for there to be no other people there. Please feel free to join and chat and I can look at setting up meet for you. Thank you, Charlotte.
