Part of leadinglight.org.uk This is a social group for people to meet for days out in and around the London area, trips away, or even an afternoon coffee. I decided to start the group so people can meet others in similar stiuations, life can be isolating at times, I want people to be happy. This group is for anyone who may be feeling shy, lonely, isolated, or just want to make new friends who have similar issues. Leading Light supports people suffering with the effects of social anxiety and re …

This group is for people that are, or want to be, or are considering becoming, leaders in helping shy and socially anxious people to improve their lives. You may or may not suffer from shyness or SA yourself. I run two very active SA groups in London myself with several hundred members who meetup regulary. These groups are non profit. However membership of this group is also open to people who are looking to make profit.

The aim of the group is to give shy, socially anxious or tongue tied people the opportunity to develop social and conversational skills and make new friends in a safe environment whilst enjoying visits to art galleries, museums, parks and other London attractions

“Chichester Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” is a new exciting group for women aged between 20 and 45 who live or work in and around Chichester. I have decided to start this group as I’m learning that it can be hard to make friends when you’re new to the area and thought that there must be others in the same boat! The aim of the group is to bring together like minded girls who want to have fun whilst meeting new people in a warm friendly atmosphere. There will be a variety meetups including coffee mo …

Hey there and welcome, London is a hard place to keep friends and even harder to make them.  Either they are too busy, they are about to go back to their country or some reason or another.  And the idea of going to an event where you don't know anyone can be daunting for even the most socialist of people. Well if you live, work or even just love to play in the Islington area then this is the group for you.  This group is very welcoming and if you are on the shy side I will try and make sure you …

This has quickly become a very unique and friendly group with really genuine, lovely members! It is based in Egham and is for ladies, 35+ (don't worry, the age group is for guidance only, you certainly wont be automatically excluded if you're 33 or 34 but it IS aimed at a slightly older age group, we are not clubbers or ravers, but definitely young at heart.) We usually meet several times a  month and only want people to join the group if they are GENUINELY going to participate.Many meet up grou …

We're here to put black images in film back on the map. Tired of the same old maintream excuses such as “Black film has too limited an audience” or “there’s not enough depth in Black film”.  BCC will try and serve up to the diverse people that we are, movies that tell stories that reflect us and our imaginations. BCC's aims are multifold 1. To provide consistent big screen outlets for new & classic black film/documentary 2. To provide a forum for film/documentary lovers wishing to have that shar …

This group is a little more niche and helps to expand the portrayal of femme lesbians/bisexuals. We sometimes find it hard to meet other femme/lipstick lesbians/bisexuals or sometimes suffer stereotypes that we aren't really gay. (esp if you're bi and fem! Lol) So what better, than to create a group with like-minded fabulous women go out and explore new events. This group doesn't necessarily just refer to how you physically look but rather how you identify. You may feel like a fem, but physicall …

Who is lurking in the shadows of our psyche? Best friends? Bad influences? (GOOD FUN!) Role models? Siblings? Children? Parents? Those we love, loathe and lust after the most?

We often get into a topic early on and only one round is done. The funniest, most embarrassing stories can provide the most valuable insights! The name of the game is self a …

I am organising this meet up group because I believe that there are a lot of people who suffer from shyness, or social anxiety, or low self-esteem and who feel isolated! I, myself, have had this problem and I know how painful it can be... So why not meet with others who are in the same boat and who can relate to you. Our meet-ups will be very informal and relax.

A lion tamer entering the cage needs to have guts of course, but not only. He needs to have knowledge. Without knowledge, he wouldn't survive among the lions. Without knowledge, fear becomes as strong as survival instinct... and that's a good thing! With the relevant knowledge, it's possible to tame fear and lions. Only, when it comes to public speaking, there are no lions, but people like you... I was so shy when I was young that I can assure you, it may seems a bit of a challenge, and it is, …

We're a group for people who want to meditate together, and/or learn about the Aro approach to Buddhist practice. We welcome beginners and experienced meditators. In the style of meditation we teach and practise, you learn to let go of thoughts in order to stay present moment by moment.  "Remaining uninvolved" with your thought process helps you relate to your everyday experience differently.  After regular practice you might find more choice in your responses to life circumstances, rather than …

I created The Beating Social Anxiety Together Group for people like me who have social anxiety. I have had social anxiety for 12 years. I have tried CBT therapy, Hypnosis, Self Help Groups and Medication, but I have still not been able to get over my social anxiety. I felt that the groups that I visited were of no help to me because many of the people within the groups did not have social anxiety. The groups were also very large and with me having severe social anxiety I found it very intimidati …
