The Friendship Bus arrives in Philly today. Once on-board, people are paired up with strangers and asked a series of questions to, hopefully, spark new relationships. trib.al/2NYyWRN

Loneliness is not something we like to talk about, is it, so I’m grateful to Lee Thompson, co-founder @flashpack for chatting so openly about his campaign to make more friends in midlife. I’m sure lots ppl will relate. Latest for ⁦⁦⁦⁦@yahoolife. uk.style.yahoo.com/lonely-mi…

In #Manhattan, a new #FriendshipCorner pop-up is looking to help people who are willing to connect potentially become friends. #AroundTheBoroughs #ny1 @chelsea_j_katz @Sherwoodstock @flashpack

Introducing the world’s first friendship corner. It seems like we’ve all got our shutters down these days. Over two-thirds of New Yorkers feel socially isolated, and we’re not about it. So when a 27 sq ft retail space opened up in one of the most bustling neighbourhoods in the city, we jumped on it to bring our mission to life. So the question is: If we open up, will you? #TheFriendshipCorner

This #InternationalMensDay, we face a stark reality: suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. Ben Akers, Co-CEO of Talk Club, shares his journey with us, inspired by the loss of his friend Steve. Ben transformed his personal pain into a global mental-fitness movement, introducing the powerful question, 'How are you? Out of 10?'—more than a mere inquiry; a lifeline. With 72 clubs worldwide, Talk Club's positive talking and listening community actively makes a difference, extending an invitation for all of us to be part of this impactful change. Read Ben's story published on our online magazine, Solo, here: lnkd.in/esBFK3p4

Can only laugh at @flashpacklee being called an "ex-loner" knowing him 😂 But *spoiler alert* his experiment worked! People DO want to make friends!

They came up with the idea on a first date, built a multimillion pound business based on it, and then lost it all. Flash Pack's founders, married couple Radha Vyas and Lee Thompson, explain how they brought their travel company back to life eu1.hubs.ly/H06bL1d0
