Having something nice in the diary can make all the difference to how you feel 💜

Louisa, a Leeds Oddfellows member, puts it perfectly:

"It's something to do, somewhere to go. I look at the events diary and I go, ‘yeah, I can do that. I’ll do that, and I’ll do that’."

If you're looking for friendship, fun and new experiences, head straight to our Events Finder to discover meetups and activities taking place near to you, both in person and online.

Give yourself permission to stay for just three minutes. Sometimes taking the pressure off is all it takes to make that first step. And if you decide to stay longer, that's great too!
