Meeting other like minded people

You could try the U3A in your area. They have lots of different groups so I'm sure you would find something of interest. They are doing some zoom meetings at the minute.

I have gained two 'pen pals' via Gransnet. One lives in the U.K. and the other in New Zealand; we email one another from time to time and it is lovely to hear from someone outside of family and neighbours.

Have you considered volunteering for a community action group? I will PM you with the details of one that I am involved with. This is a great way to meet new people whilst 'giving back' to others.

U3a is another way of meeting new people. Face to face meetings are not allowed at the moment but hopefully, when restrictions are lifted, they will be and Group activities will recommence.

My friendship group contains single and married couples with and without children, but in every case we are united by common interests. Do you have any interests from sport, politcs, crafts, anything where the common interest is not family, but other interests that you could pursue.
