The Launch Community Stranger Social

Join us for our July Stranger Social at the Gribblehirst Community Hub!

The Launch Community is an experiment in unlikely community. While most groups form around shared interests or backgrounds, we’re more interested in what it means to practice connection to build belonging with people you might not otherwise cross paths with.

You might be:

• Working on a goal or creative project and needing some motivation
• Looking for friendships that are both uplifting and accountable
• Excited to try new things or approach community in a different way

We meet twice a month: Stranger Socials like this one are open to everyone, and Connect + Expand gatherings are where we go deeper together.

You don’t need to have been before, or commit to anything after. Stranger Socials are our way of inviting new folks in. It's low-stakes, no-pressure, and hopefully a bit joyful. There’ll be plenty of easy ways to start conversations and connect, and space to just hang out too.

Come as you are, and if you can, please bring a dish to share. We'll be eating together! Mains, sides, desserts, and drinks welcome. Supermarket, takeaway, or homemade. We’ll also have access to the kitchen if you’d like to prepare something at the venue.

There’s no cost to attend, but if you’re able, a koha of $10–20 helps keep things going, covering venue hire, MeetUp costs, and other admin.
