Networking groups near London, 17

Our aim is to create a community of Change Makers driven by the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs*) set by the United Nations (with a deadline towards 2030)... In short, make possible for everyone to understand how to make a positive impact in their life and/or career being aware of what can be done and what is being done already. 

The SDG Network Team, acting from London, provides a platform of exchange and networking for like minded people and all businesses/organisations with good purpose at heart. We want to enable everyone to understand what underpins the SDGs* in getting our members to discover concrete initiatives and new ideas having a positive impact already in place around the world or even at our doorstep and how, as individuals, we can all get inspired and empowered to act. We're all in this together and everyone of us can make a difference! Join us and be the next Change Maker. 

The Analytics Network is a special interest group of the professional body, The Operational Research Society. For those with an interest in analytics, in topics such as data science, optimisation, visualisation, Big Data, Regression, Data Mining, Predictive modelling or forecasting, the Analytics Network is intended to be your home within the Operational Research Society (The O.R. Society).

The O.R. Society was established over 75yrs ago, to promote the application of scientific methods to data, to enable decision-making and advice-giving. The O.R. Society has always provided a professional home for those working in both O.R., Analytics and Data Science; this group aims to bring together resources, news, views and information for just that purpose.

Greek or Cypriot living in London? Welcome to the group! We are planning to go out, socialise, meet and do interesting stuff or just catching up and enjoy what London has to offer!

This Group was created to get Asian single parents and their kids out interacting with each other for fun, support and friendship, and to enhance lives in the process.

<br>

Separated, widowed, divorced, single by choice, living apart can all fit into the category of a single parent family. No matter how you arrived in your current situation, it’s important for families and children to know they are not alone.

<br>

THE EVENTS

<br>

We are an active group hosting a mixture of fun activities for both parents and kids and experiences that are priceless!

<br>

Daytime events for both Parents and their children: These have included activities such as a trip to London Zoo, picnic and play in various parks, bowling, ice skating, trips to the seaside, attending festivals such as the Tall Ships Festival in Greenwich, cultural events such as Holi, Diwali in Trafalgar Square, Vaisaki at Gravesend Gurudwara and Eid related events. These are just some of the many events we have held and are suitable for all ages.

<br>

Evening events for parents: these are for the adults only to have a night off! Including things such as a nice meal; drinks or a Bollywood event.

<br>

Holidays: We have been away on weekend breaks and holidays, and hope to do a lot more of these in the near future especially overseas! :)

<br>

BENEFITS

<br>

Meeting like minded adults who are going through the same experiences. It can be invaluable to speak with others who have been where you are and are willing to share their own tips for getting through.

<br>

Although your best friends may be able to lend a listening ear and sympathize with you, true empathy will come from others who are going through a similar life experience. It is also sometimes difficult to talk to family and friends because of the stigma attached within our culture.

<br>

Having company when doing activities rather than on your own.

<br>

Friendship opportunities for children which exist outside of their everyday sphere. This also helps with kids who feel different to their peers who may live in two parent households.

Access to regional/local WhatsApp groups once you have attended an event with an organiser present. This will be at the organiser's discretion. For example, we have WhatsApp groups for Kent/East London/West London & Berkshire/North West London etc. where more local events are organised rather than central London all the time.

Don't just take my word for it, read the testimonials!
