This group is for anyone interested in Biohacking and optimising their lifestyle where we discuss optimising health, fitness, diet, nutrition, cooking, sleep, longevity and productivity in your professional and personal life. My name is Andy and I started this group following my own interest in lifestyle optimisation and the journey I’ve been on which involved quite a bit of reading, listening and a lot of experimenting. It would have been much easier if there was a group of likeminded individuals like this to learn from before I started. The aim of the group is to get together to share our collective knowledge and ideas so that we can help each other whilst also enjoying some fun activities that benefit our lives in the present moment and hopefully long into the future. Better still, if you don’t feel that you health is as optimised as it could be (we’ve all been there at times), then come along as it might be time to start with some small changes today. There is no required knowledge or skill level to join, the only requirement is that you are interested in the above topics. Keep it PG and enjoy : )

Cuppa is Manchester’s Premier Property Networking Group. It is a friendly, informal group that is free to attend, and is for anyone interested in Property Investing in Manchester in the UK. Cuppa has been running continuously since 2012, as well as an active presence on meetup and facebook, we also have a Whatsapp group which boasts more than 250 property investors as members. If you come to any Cuppa meeting you can be added to that group and tap into their considerable experience. It's worth coming along at least once just for that! Before 2020 all of our meetings were in person, since then we’ve alternated between online and face-to-face events. From 2024 we’ve split the face-to-face meetings between different venues so that Cuppa is accessible to as many people as possible from across the city. We keep the events section of our meetup page up to date so you can see whether a particular week is an online or face to face meeting, and where it’s happening. Everybody is warmly welcomed and encouraged, from total newbies just thinking about getting into property, to experienced professionals with years of hard-won wisdom! There have been a lot of deals struck on the back of connections made at Cuppa. That includes several people who have found their future business partners at the group! Look forward to seeing you on a Saturday soon!

NOTE: *This local group is back! Previously it was located in North Yorkshire Moors, it's now been moved to Manchester.* **What Recovering from Religion is about:** Doubt your beliefs? Have questions about changing or leaving your faith? You are not alone, and we are here to help each other through this journey. Learning how to live after questions, doubts, and changing beliefs is a journey. We at Recovering from Religion are intimately familiar with this path and are here to help you to cross that bridge. Our mission is connecting others with support, resources, community, and most of all, hope. The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. RfR has an immense collection of well-curated resources available as you go through your journey. The page includes resources for mental and physical crises, working with relationships, for issues stemming from specific religions, coming out stories, and much more. Head to www.recoveringfromreligion.org/resources for these helpful resources. If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone or go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org to chat online. If you’re seeking professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org.

Hi and welcome to the Lancashire metal detecting group. I'm Michael, and originally from Lancashire, Burscough I decided to start up a metal detecting group, as I've always had an interest in anything old with history to it. I started the hobby a couple of years ago, so I'm fairly new to detecting and it would be great to find like minded people who have the same interest. When started I purchased the Simplex detector and headed to the beach after work. Unfortunately for me I had my steel toe cap boots on and almost dug up most of the beach. :D A lesson learnt , don't make the same mistake! This is a group for anyone interested in metal detecting, outdoor activities, exploring and living life to the fullest. There are no charges for joining the group, and no charge for the attending. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns you may have and if I'm not up a mountain with no signal I will reply as soon as I'm back down :)
