CircleUp helps young adults in Bath, Bristol, London, and Cardiff build friendships

A group called CircleUp is helping young adults in UK cities combat loneliness by facilitating real-life friendships. The organization runs weekly in-person events in cities like Bath, Bristol, London, and Cardiff, aiming to create safe environments for people to connect and build social lives. Loneliness affects a third of 16-29 year olds, with factors like increased online time and fewer informal social spaces contributing to the challenge of forming natural connections.
