JUST 4 WEEKS TO GO!

As part of the Lonely Club: Brighton Hub pilot, we’re starting each drop-in with a relaxed Sunday Stroll - a low-pressure, optional walk to ease into the space together.

We’ll follow the same (or very similar) route

I’m so pleased to finally be sharing this! 🎉

Hi everyone - I wanted to share a little update!

I’ve been a bit quieter on here recently while I navigated a move, some personal circumstances, and the familiar seasonal dip in motivation and energy. Taking a short step back felt important.

Loneliness isn’t just about being alone —
there are different types of loneliness, and many of them are invisible.

You can feel lonely while having friends.
You can feel lonely in a room full of people.
You can feel lonely because you do

Loneliness doesn’t always look like isolation. More often, it looks like someone who appears “strong,” “busy,” or “fine” - but is carrying everything alone.

Here are 5 subtle signs someone might be lonely (a

There was a moment in my twenties when I realised loneliness wasn’t just something that happened to me… It was quietly shaping who I was becoming.

Not in one big dramatic event, but in small, subtle ways: the way I held back in conversa

The festive season brings a mix of pressure, noise, expectations - and for many AuDHD people, it can make loneliness, exhaustion, or overstimulation feel heavier than usual.

I used to think loneliness meant “having no one.”Now I know it’s far deeper than that.

It’s about not feeling understood, not feeling part of something, not feeling like you belong. And so many of us - adults, teens, children

This year had do many moments where I felt SO much less alone than previous years :) - I think a lot of it had to do with my autism self-discovery journey and finally validating myself/giving myself the permission to unmask etc. It's been really libe

This time last year, I wrote in my journal:

“I haven’t found my people because I haven’t found myself.”

I didn’t realise then that I was standing on the edge of everything I needed to understand about who I am. I was d

The lead up to Christmas can feel like a magnifying glass.
On the joy. The noise. The togetherness.
But also - on the loneliness you’ve been carrying quietly all year.

Maybe you’ve spent months trying to balance work, life, bills, mental

This time of year comes with so much pressure to feel festive, be constantly social, and fit into a picture-perfect version of “togetherness.”

But connection doesn’t have to look like a Christmas movie - and it definitely doesn&rsq

Christmas has always been hard for me - even when I looked fine on the outside. 🎄
The masking, the social pressure, the constant need to recharge… it’s taken its toll every year.

This year feels different. A few months ago, I was diagn

Winter can make loneliness feel louder. ❄️

Short days, holiday expectations, and less sunlight all play a part.

Winter loneliness hits different - especially when it’s dark by 5pm, your routine shrinks, and the evenings stretch on.

Community Member Testimonial

The Lonely Club meet-ups provide a fantastic space to feel connected and meet different people around my age. I came by myself and immediately felt welcomed by like-minded people who were there to make new friends in a relaxed, authentic way. I’ve made lasting friendships at the walks, during a time when I’d been feeling really lonely and isolated. I’m so grateful for The Lonely Club as a way to bring young people together.
