At House of Books & Friends our mission is to combat loneliness and social isolation.Β We know how hard it can be to connect with people and make new friends; in a time when we have the opportunities to be more digitally connected than ever, it can hard to find real and meaningful connections.Β That’s why we are launchingΒ Coffee & Connections.Β We want to create opportunities for people to meet over coffee and find new friendships and community.
How does it work?
- You select the session that best aligns with your interests.
- You can purchase a ticket on our eventbrite page (Morning sessions linked here, Afternoon sessions linked here).
- We’ll organise everything you need to have a great time
- You show up, be yourself & make new connections!
Coffee & Connections is only open to people over 18. Meet ups will take place in public, and we ask all participants to be mindful of their own safety when attending – for example letting a friend or family member know where you are and thinking carefully before sharing personal information such as your home address with other participants.
