Your first month
- Pick one regular thing and go every week. Regular faces become friends.
- Find your local: a café or pub you go to often enough to be recognised.
- Tell people you’re new. Colleagues, neighbours and friends of friends usually love to invite someone along, so say yes to everything for a while.
Where people meet around Surrey
- OnlineYour town’s local groups. Most Surrey towns have active community pages and noticeboards, and they’re the quickest way to find out what’s on nearby.
- SportA club in your own town. Pick one close to home, so going every week is easy. Social sessions mix you in with new people.
- CommuteMake the commute work for you. If you still head into London, a weekday class or club near home gives you a reason to be local in the evenings.
- NeighboursYour street. Say hello, accept the invite to the summer barbecue, and ask for local tips. People love recommending their favourite pub.
- SinglesSingles events. If you’re single too, events like ours put you in a room where everyone is.
The trick: keep going back
The first visit to anything is the hardest. By the third, people say hello. By the fifth, you’re the one welcoming the new person. Give it a few weeks before you decide something isn’t for you.
