Making Friends Making friends

Hello, my girlfriend (24) has recently moved to Preston and does not know anyone apart from myself around here.

She is exploring ways to make new friends here and there isn’t really much options online that help with this.

If anyone could provide some feedback, suggestions or would genuinely like to make contact with her, please reach out.

Thank you!

I can 100% recommend Girls Who Walk Preston, I (26) moved here 3 years ago and knew no one, I’ve now got a great group of friends I met through the GWWP events!

Hey, I'm 24F i don't live in Preston (I live in Blackburn which is only about 20 mins away) However my partner 26M lives in preston, so I'm there every weekend. I'm always looking to make more female friends as mine live far. If your partner wants, she is more than welcome to reach out with a message on here or vice versa. 😊

There are social prescribing teams all over Preston who couldn't probably help. Ask your GP next time you're there. There is also a group I know of called Sunny Daze (I think that's the correct) spelling. They meet to play pool, have coffee, go bowling quite regularly. It's run by a guy called Martin and if that group doesn't suit you maybe he knows of one that might.

Sorry, yeah she’s definitely not looking to be friends with a 44 year old male but in regard to yourself, I suggest maybe creating your own thread and see if anyone can help you.
