Whether you've lived in your region for years or have just arrived, it's important to devote some time to maintaining a healthy social life. Making friends and meeting new people is the best way to feel part of a community and to keep homesickness at bay when you're living away from family and friends. AngloINFO offers an essential connection to your local community and has a number of ways to put you in touch with other people living in your area.
Friends for life
The first place to look for new friends is the Community Life category of The AngloFILE directory. Here you'll find listings for all kinds of social and special interest groups from those based on nationality or business to those catering to specific groups, like parents or children, and those based around a particular hobby or pastime. In this category, you'll also find listings for local churches and religious groups that you can get involved with.
Mums and dads can find new playmates for their children on the Bringing Up Toddlers & Children in France and Living with Teenagers pages. Listed here are activities and clubs where kids can meet other youngsters.
Sports enthusiasts should take a look at the Sport & Leisure AngloFILE category to find local teams and clubs for all kinds of active pursuits.
Can't find a group for your special interest? Post a notice on AngloINFO's Discussions and start up your own one. Whatever you're into, there is sure to be someone else like you out there.
And finally, head to the Social & Community Events category of the What's On Guide to find out about upcoming events in your area at which you can make new connections and meet some new faces.
