One way to improve both your health and quality of life is to meet new people.  Mixing with people helps you to:

New Year New You

  • Raise your sense of connection, belonging and purpose.
  • Boost your happiness and lower your stress.
  • Improve your self-confidence and feelings of self-worth.
  • Helps you cope through hard times, such as divorce, serious illness, job loss or the death of a loved one.
  • Urges you to change or avoid habits that aren't healthy. These might include drinking too much or not exercising.
 Friends also play a big role in your overall health. Adults with strong social connections have a lower risk of many health problems. That includes depression, high blood pressure and an unhealthy weight. In fact, studies have found that older adults who have close friends and healthy social supports are likely to live longer than do their peers who have fewer friends.

 

The Feelgood Factory runs three main programmes that are aimed purely at helping you to meet people (although most of our timetable has an emphais on socialising with others as well).
