Free online event: 'Feel at home in your life'
Tuesday 24 March at 7pm
Join anthropologist, author and relationship expert Dr Anna Machin for this hugely explorative session on the science of friendship and health, and why it matters to your own wellbeing.
Drawing on neuroscience and evolution, you'll leave with practical insight into how relationships can help you feel healthier, more resilient, and more at home in your life.

Enjoying regular social events and interesting activities is just one of the many benefits of Oddfellows membership.
You'll find wellbeing advice and routes to financial support should you find yourself in difficulty, as well as special member offers, and opportunities to travel and volunteer. *T&Cs apply to all financial benefits.
