Where to Find Nice New Friends!

Filed Under: Your Community

Many people enjoy their own company, but others (especially people who are older and disabled) may sometimes enjoy the company of a good friend now and then, especially if they have been bereaved or moved to a new area. Here are some places to help (follow safety tips, if meeting new people).

  1. Together Friends is a site where women can make new friends to meet up in person, or chat online. Set up by a mother and daughter, this site focuses on the outdoor natural life, and puts you in touch with like-minded women in the same area, who share your interests. It’s not a dating site, simply a friendship site based on location, age and interests. You can find a friend to go walking, have coffee with, go to the theatre or find a travel companion. Ideal for people who have moved to new areas, or are recently bereaved or separated/divorced. You may just find that person to visit pottery class or climb a mountain!
  2. Natural Friends is a friendship/dating site, whichever you prefer. This site caters to people who love nature, country walks, animals, strolls on the beach and cycling. Browse the site to find members.
  3. Veganuary lists local groups for vegans, if you feel a bit isolated in a world of people who eat meat,  fish, dairy and eggs. If you’re the only plant-eater in your village or town, here you can find like-minded new friends to chat with, and of course go out to dinner with!
  4. The Silver Line Helpline is a free telephone service where people who are older and lonely, can call for a 30-minute chat with a friendly volunteer. The service is available for anyone over 60 with a phone who can hear , and they get a regular call at the same time, each week. It also offers group calls for older people who share a maritime or Royal Air Force background. They are very busy due to lack of volunteers, so if you’re a friendly chatterbox, you know who to call to offer your services!

I am going to listen to the wind and see what it tells me, or see if it tells me anything at all. I will follow the songlines and see what they sing to me. And I might bring a harvest of fresh tales, which I can scatter like apple seeds across this tired and angry land.
