Friendships play a vital role in our lives. Having people you can trust, laugh with, and feel supported by makes a big difference in everyday life. But, making friends isn’t always easy, and keeping those connections strong can be even harder.
That’s why we’re so excited to be running our Friendship Course again this Autumn. The course is designed to help you build confidence, strengthen your relationship skills, and learn what makes a healthy, lasting friendship.
It’s a supportive space to reflect, learn practical tools, and connect with others. You may even form new friendships along the way!

What to expect
The Friendship Course runs over six weeks and gives you space to talk about what makes friendships work. Each week has a different theme, with time for group discussions, activities, and reflection.
You’ll learn valuable skills like how to connect with people, recognise healthy friendships, and have honest conversations. We’ll also explore important topics such as setting boundaries and managing disagreements.
Each week, you’ll receive handouts to help you remember what we covered. Many members have said these handouts are really helpful.
“I like looking at the handouts after the session. They help me remember what we talked about.”

Why Join?
The course is a chance to learn, share, and grow alongside other get2gether members. Many people who join say they make new friends during the course itself as well as learning the skills to make and maintain new friendships after the course.
“We have not just made new friends at the course. We have been able to practise skills and build confidence that has helped with friendships outside of the course.”
Whether you are looking to build your confidence or understand friendships better, this course offers a friendly and supportive place to explore this.
“Today I have learned about connecting and what is comfortable and uncomfortable when you meet someone. I feel it will help me, as in the past I was guilty of telling people or sharing too much information.”
