What we’re about
I'd like to make some friends around my age in the local area; most of the groups I'm in/organise are either based in Leeds, or are mainly virtual, but I'm really keen to find some people close enough to me that I don't have to rely on endless amounts of public transport to reach them. I think this makes for more opportunities for spontaneous meets, and close friends you can get to know better than the occasional monthly social with tons of people where you can't remember anyone's name by the end of the night (or is that just me 🤔😂).
I live just outside of Keighley going on towards Haworth with my three cats, work from home full time as an ESL teacher, and I'm up for trying a bit of anything! I think the area lends itself to nature related activities, but there are plenty of places further afield perfect for getting coffee or food, going to the cinema or theatre, literature events etc. I'm also into animal rights, conservation and social support for those in need, so if anyone would be up for volunteering/some community project involvement I'd love to join!
I've found as I've gotten older that previous good friends have moved away, got families now, or live far enough away that seeing them frequently isn't an option. Along with this, all the pandemic stuff made me realise the importance of having people in your life you can rely on, so I'd love to find at least a few people like me, with similar interests or a similar situation/perspective in life, to make some genuine connections! I've spoken to lots of people who feel exactly the same, so I'm hoping a few of those might be local...
I'll organise an event if/when there are a few members, hopefully I'll see someone soon 😅
