March cover story

It’s March and on the cover is our member Savannah hosting her first event! She is sitting beside two new friends that came along to her event and encouraged her throughout. Read about how Savannah got involved with her first event just months after joining get2gether, how she battled her nerves and ended up having so much fun!

How did you find out about get2gether?

Savannah: When I joined positive paths, some of their members went to some get2gether events and so I decided to sign up to get a membership. It felt good to try something new. 

What was the first event you attended and how did it go?

Savannah: it was at the blue drill hall where I met new people which was a bit nervewracking. It was so nice because i knew some people that I went to school with. 

I was so nervous but I knew it would be good to meet new people and try something differently then attend more events to be able to meet others/get to know them like their hobbies and interests.

What kept you coming back? what did you like about coming to events?

Savannah: I loved getting to know people and doing different things that I hadn’t tried before. Everyone was so positive, there was no negativity. 

How did you feel before hosting your event?

Savannah: I felt so nervous about hosting an event as I worried that people wouldn’t turn up. But people around me were encouraging. Working with Ambassador Philip was really easy and explained it well which helped me throughout the event. 

I would absolutely love to host another event – getting more independent, doing things on your own with less help are important things to try achieve. If I did another event I think I might do something different like bowling or at a museum.

How would u describe get2gether in 3 words?

Savannah: Fun, supportive and lots of good people to talk to!
