About us
contactsingles.co.uk
Every friend or partner started with the first hello!
We aim to provide a safe environment for you to make new friends and widen your social circle. We know how daunting it is for ladies to come alone to events so we can even put ladies coming alone in touch with each other beforehand. We'd like to offer this to you too guys but we know how strange you would think it was if we said we could network you with other men beforehand lol! We can only suggest that you arrive at the start of the event when we can properly introduce you into a mixed group of new arrivals and ease you in gently.
We have members from mainly 30 but we don't mind younger or older. We have big numbers at our events for Contact Singles (contactsingles.co.uk) when we hold them mostly monthly so there will still be plenty of people within your age range.
Meanwhile you will find many other events put on by our other organisers for their groups and you will see many of these events posted on this group.
Our sister London (& Hertfordshire & Essex) groups are very active with loads of events put on by different organizers. Feel free to join, with over 12,000 members between the groups!

Toyin arranges some amazing travel events abroad and weekend breaks in this country. I take my hat off to this lady as she must be the most socially active person on Meet Up.

Day Trip to Geneva: The Ultimate Swiss Experience
Location not specified yetHave you always wanted to visit Geneva?
Fancy a day in the Alps without the overnight cost? I’m hosting a day trip from London to Geneva for anyone who’s up for exploring a new city together. Full Disclosure… it’s my first time there too! 😄
So this isn’t your typical guided tour — it’s more like a shared adventure where we discover the city as we go.### What to expect:
Beautiful views & hidden gems
A bit of Google Maps navigation (team effort!)
Great conversations & easy vibes
A few laughs along the way with great memoriesWhether you come solo or with a friend, you’ll be part of a friendly, open group just enjoying the experience together.
No pressure, no strict plan — just good energy and exploration.
If you’re up for a spontaneous, fun day out come join us! Let's take our time, enjoy the sights, and savour the experience in one day.
Geneva is a beautiful and international city located on the shores of Lake Geneva, surrounded by the Alps. It's known for its stunning natural scenery, rich history, and significant role in global diplomacy. The city offers a blend of cultural attractions, historical sites, and outdoor activities, making it an appealing destination if visiting for the first time.
This is the weekend of the Geneva Marathon, so will make the city very lively, but it also means some transport and walking routes (especially near the lake and Mont-Blanc bridge) will be impacted by race closures.
