Join us as we look back over an incredible month of meeting up and making new friends across the UK.

On the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, CEO of the Oddfellows, Jane Nelson, said:

This Friendship Month, we’re calling on the nation to keep socialising, amid concerns about the impact any reduced social contact could have on people’s mental health and wellbeing.

Busy Oddfellow, Vera, is urging older adults to make friendship a priority in their lives and to keep socialising.

If you're finding it difficult to socialise again in widowhood, consider giving an Oddfellows event a try for just three minutes.
