Networking groups near Lancaster, H2

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.

Due to unexpected demand, we have opened learning participation to all genders, dependent on initial and on-going vetting by the leadership team. However, the stated priority of the R-Ladies communities is the development & support specifically of those identifying as a minority gender, and we, therefore, reserve the right to guard this interest through whatever measures the leadership team deems appropriate. Anyone involved with R-Ladies Lancaster is expected to fully respect each other, the mandate of this community, and the goodwill on which R-Ladies is founded, or face expulsion/a penalty of any form, at the discretion of the leadership team.* ***Full community guidelines are found here:*** https://guide.rladies.org/about/mission/#r-ladies-rules--guidelines *PPS Photos, Films and all other media/recordings: Photos, Films, and all other media/recordings: photographs and/or video/other media will be taken at events held by this community.

Each meeting is 2 hours, starting with 10 minutes meet and greet, followed by two or three talks of up to 20 minutes each on any topics that we find interesting, followed by time for networking.
