How to increase my social circle

Hi Folks As we are getting older and older, do you find that your social circle is getting smaller and smaller? If so, what things do you do to increase or at least maintain your social life? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank You

I have found a beach based volunteering scheme in Malaysia, which is for the locals. Best part is, I don't have to pay and organisation £450 per week! Husband and I can stay somewhere comfortable and eat well for half that.

How about joining a U3A group near you?
Lots of interesting sharing of knowledge, skills etc and probably some interesting places to go to and people to mix with.

You can Google U3A, see if it suits you.

Quality not quantity unless you are a party animal!

There is a lady on this site, CarolAH who can tell you all about it as she is a member.

That's a good idea. I will look and see if we have one here.

Hi Manjinder
I tried really hard, and looked at lots of clubs etc, but none were really my thing. Just today, I found my thing on 'Meet up'. There is a walk and drink group, and a silent book club. Perfect. I hope there is something near you like this.

Hope you find something nice. Around here there wasn't much I fancied, and you have to usually sign up for months too. I'm looking into volunteering abroad next year too.
