Growing your social circle - Rural area.

[SideWinder]

Hey all,

This is related to my brother who wants to try and grow his social circle a bit.

I wanted to see if you all had other ideas besides what I suggested:

- MeetUp app and searching for groups in the larger cities close by
- Joining classes at the local gym
- Signing up to volunteer at festivals (summer approaching)
- Reaching out to old school friends and going for a drink/watch the football

Closest big area is Brighton so I've suggested heading to that area more.

Any other ideas?

does your brother have any friends currently?

What are his interests?

This is part of the issue, very few if any friends and he is still working out his interests. He started football which is good but I said that social groups eg Meetup, are better if there is a specific interest or hobby. Even trying something more.

Where actually is he? Connected Brighton could be a good shout and is designed for this very reason - https://www.connectedbrighton.com/

This looks very good...just sent it to him.
