What are low pressure meet ups?

pressure meet ups are calm, friendly spaces where people can connect without feeling forced to talk, join in straight away or arrive full of confidence.

Some people come to make friends.
Some come to try something new.
Some come because they feel lonely, anxious or unsure where they fit.
Some simply want something gentle to do.

Our meet ups may include meals, walks, board games, creative sessions, coffee, activities and community spaces.

You can chat, listen, sit quietly, join in slowly or simply be around kind people.

There is no one right way to attend.
